Suur Munamägi

Suur Munamägi (Estonian pronunciation: [ˈsuːr ˈmunɑ.mæɡi]; translation 'Big Egg Mountain') is the highest peak in Estonia (and the Baltic states), reaching 318 metres (1,043 ft) above sea level.

[1] It is located near the village of Haanja, in Võru County in the southeastern corner of Estonia, close to the borders of both Latvia and Russia.

The name derives from comparison of its rounded shape with an egg (Estonian: muna).

The metaphor is frequent in oronyms because there are at least 19 hills named Munamägi in the historical county of Võrumaa.

[2] The Suur Munamägi Tower is located at the top of the peak.
