Kissing Hill (Musumägi)

Kissing Hill (Musumägi) is a small artificial mound on Toome Hill in Tartu, near the cathedral. It was created in the 19th century as part of a romantic park design on the site of the former Moscow rondel on the Charles XI bastion. Steps lead up the mound, and at the top a viewing platform with benches overlooks the greenery of Toome Hill and its historic surroundings. Nearby are a sacrificial stone and the monument to Kristjan Jaak Peterson. Kissing Hill has long been a popular spot for photos and strolls, and in summer it also hosts outdoor activities. It is a small viewpoint in its own right, not a museum or an entrance to the cathedral.
