Roela Cone Hut museum
Lääne-Viru County, North-Estonian Recreation Area
Roela cone hut museum is a fascinating visiting point that tells stories about the history of Estonian forestry. On June 2 2019 an information point will be opened to share the information about the local and other nature vacation opportunities in Estonian State Forest. The visitors have a possibility to look around in the cone hut established in 1928 by Estonian Head Office of State Forests.The cone hut is located at the edge of Mõdriku-Roela esker, which is the longest in Estonia. A part of Peraküla-Kauksi hiking route runs its course along the esker where there is the opportunity to see primeval pine and spruce forest and local culture heritage.The cone hut was renovated by RMK in 2008. There can be seen original stoves and equipment and permanent exhibition that tells stories about collecting and drying the cones and seeds of native trees. The Cone Hut operates in cooperation with Vinni municipality and NGO Roela Kodukant. Nature and heritage-related tours can be pre-ordered in the building and in the primeval forest on esker slopes behind the Cone Hut.
