Suitsu observation tower

The highest observation tower in Matsalu is located on the banks of the Tuudi River – the 21-metre-high Suitsu Tower. From here, you can see the old fishermen’s houses, the meadow, the wide reed beds and the Matsalu forest. For birdwatchers, the best time to visit Suitsu Tower is early spring when thousands of migrating geese and ducks gather on the flood-meadow.

There is a wet deciduous forest next to Suitsu Tower, which is a great place to learn about the more common songbirds during spring mornings.
