With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore all that Otepaa, 30 miles away, has to offer. Tehvandi Sport Centre should be at the top of your to-do list here. 12th Century Ruins of the Otepaa Bishop’s Castle and Otepaa Seikluspark are terrific attractions too. Locals will also probably point you toward Valga, 35 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Memorial Tablet of the Northern Sons of Finland. (But we’d also highly recommend Otepaa Energy Column and Valga Town Hall.)
