Rõuge watchtower "Pesapuu"
The Pesapuu watchtower is 30 meters high (the top observation platform is 27 meters from the ground) and it resembles a tree with two birdnests. Karmo Tõra, an architect, is the author of the idea.
The watchtower is eye-catching during both the day and the night. At night, lights of different colours are turned on to shed light on the so-called birdnests or observation platforms and the so-called golden egg on the top of the tower.
Tourists that reach the top are offered picturesque views of the Nightingale Valley and the rest of Võru County. Pesapuu is opened around-the-clock.

Great views
We stopped here after lunch after passing by it. It is definitely on the modern side as far as estonian watchtowers go and it can shake pretty strongly if there are a lot of people. Plenty of parking...

Quirky but very cool
Worth a climb for sure as views in Estonia are few and far between. Worth exploring a little beyond as well. Free.

Storks nest!
We passed through Rouge with this (and the energy trail) in mind. At this terrain there are a few other things to do, not just this (free) tower to climb. The kids (and myself!) loved climbing up...
