Tornimägi (70,6 m) ehk kõrgendik 69,9 – legendi kohaselt rajasid vene väed Põhjasõja aegu siia suure vahitorni, millelt oli hea ümbruskonda silmas pidada. 20. sajandil seisis mäel triangulatsioonitorn. Läbi sajandite olnud tornid ongi mäele nime andnud. II maailmasõja ajal asus Tornimäel Sinimägede rinnet hoidvate vägede keskne juhtimiskeskus.

Tornimägi (Tower Hill, 70.6 m) marked on maps simply as 69.9 – legend has it that Russian forces built a high watchtower here around the time of the Great Northern War, a good place to keep an eye on the area. A triangulation tower stood on the hill in the 20th century. Towers have graced the hill for centuries and bestowed the name on it. During World War II, Tornimägi was the site of the central command centre for the forces stationed on the Sinimäed front.

Торнимяги (Гора с башней) (70,6 м) или возвышенность 69,9 – согласно легенде во время Северной войны русские войска соорудили здесь большую сторожевую башню, с которой можно было наблюдать за местностью. В 20 веке на горе была установлена триангуляционная вышка. Название горы связано с этими сооружениями, стоявшими здесь в течение столетий.
The Sinimäed hills in Vaivara municipality are a landscape protection area.From east to west, the names of the low hills are Pargimägi (aka Lastekodumägi), Põrguaugumägi (aka Grenaderimägi) and Tornimägi (often simply identifi ed on maps as 69.9). The chain is approximately 4 km in length and rises up to 35 metres over the surrounding countryside, and as much as 50 metres if measured from the edge of the limestone bank. The northern slope of the hills is steep, especially that of Tornimägi.Though it is not yet completely certain how the hills were formed, geologists currently generally favour the theory that it was a combination of three forces: pressure from the Pärnu-Narva tectonic fault belt, migrating banks and blue clay. http://turism.vaivaravald.ee/nature
