Mõksi: Nature Park, Gorges and Lakes

Mõksi is located in Haanja Nature Park. The nature park's boundary extends to the village and then runs along the Mõksi–Kolepi road towards Kolepi. In Mõksi, Hinni Talu offers accommodation for up to 16 people. Documented natural attractions in the wider area include Suur Munamägi, Kütiorg, Hinni Canyon and Lake Kavadi järv.

An important destination for understanding the region is Suur Munamägi. At 317.2 m above sea level, it is the highest point in the Baltic states. A 29.1 m-high observation tower stands on the mountain; it was completed in 1939. This combines the elevation with a specific, identifiable structure and a clearly dated history.

Hinni Canyon presents a different type of landscape. The gorge is 300 m long, 15 to 20 m deep and has steep slopes. Over almost 200 m, white sandstone as well as sandstone occurring in several shades of yellow, with cross-bedding, is exposed there. Those wishing to take different natural features into account when choosing a destination can distinguish here between a prominent elevation and a geologically shaped gorge.

Kütiorg is a 4.7 km-long valley with a depth of 50 to 75 m. The valley can be explored on a hiking trail of the same name. Lake Kavadi järv, by contrast, offers a circular trail 2.2 km long. The two details describe different ways of visiting: Kütiorg represents an elongated valley with its own hiking trail, while the trail at Lake Kavadi järv runs directly around a body of water.

Movement within Haanja Nature Park is also specifically regulated. You may travel there by bicycle on roads and paths. At all bodies of water designated for public use, 4 m-wide shoreline paths are also accessible.

It accommodates up to 16 people. If you would like to compare Mõksi with other places, you can also view Kasaritsa, Roosisaare, Umbsaare, Nooska, Koloreino and Palometsa.
