Karujärve kämping

The most beautiful lake in Saaremaa is located on the Lääne-Saaremaa uplands, 4,5 km north-west from Kärla borough, 32,2 m from sea level. It's also called Järumetsa, Järvemetsa and Järvmetsa lake. Its surface area is about 330 ha, and the deepest spots can go down to 6 m. The north-east side of the lake - south-west from Oinarahu - is the deepest. After lowering the water level in 1932, its surface area and depth have decreased. Karujärv is surrounded by a forested landscape with a wavy relief. A few hundred metres north is little Mudajärv, once a part of Karujärv, which now has only a metre of water. The surrounding surface is mostly made of gravel and sand. There are fields east and west from the lake, civilization on the north shore, and on the east shore there are roomy camping grounds.
