Tartu Devil’s Bridge

Tartu linn, Tartu maakond, 51005

The Devil’s Bridge in Tartu is one of the few remaining concrete bridges from the early 20th century. Together with the Angel’s Bridge, it forms one of the symbols of Tartu. Everyone is welcome to walk on the bridge, especially visitors interested in history and architecture.
The Devil’s Bridge was built in 1913 to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty. It is decorated with a bronze relief of the Russian Emperor Alexander I, “Alexandro Primo.”
According to legend, the name “Devil’s Bridge” comes from its dark appearance, which contrasts with the bright Angel’s Bridge.
The Devil’s Bridge is ideal for walking or taking exciting photos!

Ülenurme Manor

The well-preserved Ülenurme Knight's Manor (Üllenorm) in Ülenurme is first mentioned in writing in 1646, when a military man called Bernhard Bousselberg received the manor from the Kingdom of Sweden in exchange for a stone building in Tartu.The park and the main building were probably created by Count Cancrin who was the owner of Ülenurme manor between 1856 and 1883.The manor has been passed from owner to owner, and the main source of its income was grain farming.At the beginning of 1970, the complex of numerous stone buildings of the former Ülenurme Manor's centre was allocated to the Estonian Agricultural Museum that opened its doors to visitors in 1981.You have to buy a ticket in order to visit the museum.

When homesick, almost every Estonian will crave for bread and eating it will help them cope with their homesickness. Bread, bread-making, and the smell of warm bread are deeply related to being an Estonian.Muhu bread also grew out of the desire to bake delicious bread for one's family at home. Our bread is tasty and healthy – you will simply not get enough of it.At Muhu Pagar Bakery, you can buy different kinds of bread, other baked goods, and pastries.

Räpina flour mill

The longest river in Estonia, the Võhandu River, is calm when it reaches Räpina, and therefore it was probably the most suitable place for building a unique mill complex comprising three mills.The flour mill is a massive stone building with a large winch on the top floor for lifting bags. The original doors and many other details integral to the overall design have been preserved. The flour mill was built at the end of the 18th century.
