Ilmaveere Accommodation — luxury in the middle of nature

From Ilmaveere, you can rent a paddleboard, canoe, or electric fatbike – like a cherry on top of your Setomaa experience. Discover the beauty of the local nature at your own pace or enjoy active movement along the trails of Setomaa's distant corners. In any case, the views and fresh air bring joy and lightness. Obinitsa Lake is a beloved spot for swimming and fishing. Bring binoculars, a fishing rod, or a camera – we take care of the canoe and paddles. If you're looking for both peace and physical exercise, try gliding on a paddleboard across the lake's smooth surface. From the water, you'll have a unique view of the Tuhkvitsa gorge. For the adventurous, there's an opportunity to explore the surroundings with a fatbike, a wide-tire mountain bike. These comfortable bikes will safely carry you through sand, forest, and village roads – the experience is guaranteed in every season. However, Obinitsa also offers experiences in the forest. Locals know exactly where to go to fill baskets with mushrooms. If you wish to partake in a true mushroom-picking experience, our mushroom guide will lead you to the right spot.

On Lake Peipsi, massive fog can sometimes rise in winter. The shore edge disappears with the fog and when it gets dark, the light beam of the lighthouse does not pass through it. It is said that years ago, locals rang church bells to help the fishermen find their way to the shore.The reinforced concrete beacon was built in 1938. A beacon is a lighthouse with a visibility of less than 10 nautical miles. The height of the beacon is 11 metres and the height of the light is 14 metres.In spring, the famous icebergs of Lake Peipus can be seen here. This is because of the stone bridge created by the hero of the Estonian national epic, Kalevipoeg.

The anatomical theatre, which served as a workplace for many famous doctors and scientists in the 19th century, was completed in 1805 on the southern slope of Toome Hill, Tartu, at the site of the former Swedish-era Carl Gustav bastion. It was originally designed by Johann Wilhelm Krause as a neoclassical rotunda. In 1825-1827, semicircular wing buildings were added to the building according to Krause's design. The anatomical theatre acquired its present shape after the last major extension was completed between 1856 and 1860.Medical Collections of the Medical Faculty of the University of Tartu are available at Science Centre AHHAA.
