The Rebasmäe spring (also known as Ilumetsa spring) is the largest floodwater spring in Võru County. You can take a boardwalk to the spring, but before you get on the trail, you have to descend into a shallow valley on the long staircase and cross the bridge over the Rebasmäe stream. The trail ends at the spring. The spring water is very clean but contains iron compounds, giving it a distinctive taste and reddish color. It's definitely worth tasting the water. The approximately meter-deep surface of the spring is crystal clear like a mirror, where you can see the bubbling water flow. The spring is surrounded by ancient forest, which has been under nature protection since 1981. Silence, birdsong, and the sound of water create a mysterious atmosphere, enhanced by lush mosses and forest plants giving it a jungle-like appearance. Near the spring on the stream's bank is the RMK Rebasmäe forest hut, where you can rest, make a campfire, or, if desired, camp and stay overnight. Good to know: in summer, the spring releases about 30 liters of water per seco
