Tammiste: Trails and Cemetery History

• The Tammiste Forest Trail is 2.8 km long.
• Beside the forest trail by the Pärnu River is a campfire site with a grill grate and a covered table with benches.
• Tammiste Cemetery is the former cemetery of the Tammiste nursing home and one of two closed cemeteries in Tori Parish.
• A 0.42 km cycling and pedestrian path has been completed on Staadioni Street in the village of Tammiste.

The Tammiste Forest Trail is 2.8 km long. It is distinct from the cycling and pedestrian path on Staadioni Street in the village of Tammiste. A completion report dated March 31, 2026, states that this path is 0.42 km long and has been completed. The two details can be distinguished by length and type: one is a forest trail, the other a cycling and pedestrian path. If you plan to include the path on Staadioni Street, check the current conditions on site before your visit.

So when choosing, it is not just the length of the route that matters, but also what kind of path you are looking for. The forest trail and the cycling and pedestrian path have different names and clearly different lengths. You can consider these details according to your interest in walking or cycling and pedestrian paths, without treating them as a single route.

There is a campfire site beside the Tammiste Forest Trail by the Pärnu River. It has a grill grate and a covered table with benches. These are useful points of reference for anyone planning time outdoors who wants to take seating and a grill grate into account alongside the trail.

The facilities add another aspect to planning your visit beyond the trail’s length: you can consider both the forest trail and the campfire site described here. Which matters more to you depends on whether you are mainly interested in the route or also in a place with a table and benches.

Tammiste Cemetery is the former cemetery of the Tammiste nursing home. It is also one of two closed cemeteries in Tori Parish. The cemetery contains a mass grave with the exhumed remains of 43 Red Army soldiers. They came from a former mass grave in Tori.

This involves two distinct historical connections: the cemetery’s former association with the nursing home and the origin of the remains in Tori. The place where the remains originated and the location of the mass grave at Tammiste Cemetery should be clearly distinguished. For travelers interested in history, this connection between the two places is a concrete point of reference when learning about the cemetery.

First, consider what will shape your trip: the forest trail and campfire site, or the cemetery’s history.
