Running from East to West, 660 m long and up to 200 m wide, up to 2 m high, an upland sparsely covered with junipers. Some limestone outcrops and small swamp patches can be found. A soil path leads to the top of the hill.

Narrative

The name of the hill – Pühati – refers to being considered sacred. Locals point out a number of erratic boulders near the hill that are said to have been split by lightning. In the past the hill was used as the site of big bonfires of juniper boughs. It was also the site of Soviet army training infrastructure.
