Soontagana Stronghold, which is located on an island in Avaste swamp and was established in the 7th to 8th centuries, is one of the best known strongholds of the ancient people living in this region. It is a stronghold with a circular earthwork, 50 × 100 m in size, which was 6-7 metres higher than the rest of the island.
A very secret underwater path through the swamp led to the stronghold and only those in the know were able to get there. The place succumbed to the crusading knights with the last christenings in 1226.
Today, the stronghold is surrounded by beautiful landscapes – meadows, old farms, and stone fences.
You can go for a nice walk and enjoy the views, make a fire, stay in the hiking hut, and spend the night in a tent.
You can get clean drinking water from the well. We also used this opportunity to replenish our drinking supplies.
On the Soontagana bog island you can see the ruins of two farmsteads, the history of which can be traced back 22 generations. The first defence structures of the Soontagana hill fort date from the 7th to 8th century. The campsite boasts a rich historical and cultural legacy—old farm sites, stone walls, cellars.
