Pähni küla, Rõuge vald, Võru maakond
Would you like to listen to the sounds of the forest or hear your own thoughts better in silence? Then come to Võru County to a fir forest by the RMK Pähni Nature Centre where you'll find forest megaphones – three gigantic wooden megaphones with a diameter of three metres, each named Ruup.
Ruup invites you to read forest sounds and offers hikers a possibility to rest their feet and their minds. Here, you can sit, sleep, think and listen. You can select between a small and a large view, depending on which direction you look in the Ruup. Ruup is an open library with only one book – the nature.
At the 30th kilometre of Võru-Valga highway (highway No. 67), turn left at the Matsi intersection (road sign 'RMK Pähni looduskeskus 6'). Drive for 6 km until you reach Pähni village. At the end of the gravel road, turn right at the first intersection and drive along the road until you see a road sign 'Metsa kõlakojad' ('Forest megaphones') by the road.
