Meremäe vaatetorn asub Meremäe küla ja Vastseliina linnuse vahel Meremäe mäel (204 m ü.m.p).
Nime järgi võiks arvata, et tornist näeb koguni merd. Meri, nii nagu me seda täna teame, asub siit siiski u 250 km kaugusel, kuid Pihkva järv – mille vastaskallast ju samuti näha pole ja mida vanasti tõenäoliselt ka mereks kutsuti, vaid 40 km kaugusel.
Ilusa ilmaga võib tornist näha Petseri kloostri kirikute kupleid. Avar vaade Setomaa põldudele ja metsadele on hämmastavalt kaunis igal aastaajal, sõltumata ilmast.

Hea teada: Vaatetorni võib korraga ronida 15 inimest.

The Meremäe Viewing Tower is located between Meremäe village and Vastseliina Castle on Meremäe Hill (204 m). Based on its name, one might think that the sea might be visible from the tower. However, the sea, as we know it today, is about 250 km from here, though Lake Pskov  – which is not visible on the opposite side, and which was probably also called a sea in the old days – is just 40 km away. In fine weather, the domes of the churches of the Pskov-Caves Monastery in Pechory can be seen from the tower. The wide view of Setomaa's fields and forests is amazingly beautiful in every season, regardless of the weather.

Good to know: Fifteen people can climb the viewing tower at a time.
