The Emumägi hill

Emumägi  is the highest hill in the Pandivere Upland and in the entire North Estonia. From the watching tower established at the top of the hill several churches can be seen and in recent years an increasing number of mobile masts.

Unlike many other watching towers in Estonia the traditional agricultural landscape dominates the scene here. The more distant scene includes extensive mire areas of Endla and the forests of Alutaguse region. From its foot Emumägi rises to 80metres.

Essentially, the hill consists of several landforms linked together, i.e. there is a long esker lying on the drumlin-like hillock. Emumägi together with the Tammiku Hill located north of the former forms a 12 km long mound range with many steep-sloped valleys and depressions. The slightly slanting western slope of the mound is predominantly covered with arable land.
