Quiet hill. A pleasant way of saying #cemetery. The Rahumäe #hiidrahn (erratic boulder) is about half a kilometer east at ///moats.riots.backers.

A street was planned but, since nothing was built, the streetname was scrapped. There used to be another #Raku, named after a farm, near #Vabaõhukooli. Also name of artificial lake in the northern half of which you can see the #Männiku aka #Nõmme #hiidrahn erratic at ///belonged.shelved.version.
