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 soak up all that Otepaa, 30 miles away, has to offer. Tehvandi Sport Centre, 12th Century Ruins of the Otepaa Bishop’s Castle and Otepaa Seikluspark alone make the drive out worth it. The locals are also likely to point you toward Valga, 35 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, let it be Memorial Tablet of the Northern Sons of Finland. (But we’d also highly recommend Otepaa Energy Column and Valga Town Hall.)
