In the north east the only hills are man-made: cone-shaped solid waste dumps and plateaus, ash plateaus and black semi-coke heaps (reaching 110 m at Kiviõli).

South Estonia, especially around Otepää, is the hilliest region. Beautiful views open from the observation towers on top of Kuutse­mägi, Harimägi and Väike Muna­mägi hills.

Surprisingly the 318 metres high Suur Munamägi (‘Great Egg Hill’) is not only the highest point in Estonia but in the Baltics as well.
