Tehvandi Cycling and Hiking Track

Otepää vald, Valga maakond, 67408

Tehvandi Cycling Track starts from the shooting range end of the stadium and runs along the Tartu Cycling Marathon Track to Ansomäe, then past Kasemets, Kuusemets and Savimägi to Tehvandi Hill and back to the start through Tehvandi Marsh, Lättemägi and the fort.
The 5.7 km track offers a good view of the new K90 ski jumping hill in Tehvandi. Most of the track is covered with soil and some parts run though marshes, which makes them rather difficult to tackle. The track is marked with yellow plastic ribbons.

The 9 km Pühajärv-Kääriku exercise track starts by the car park of Pühajärv Spa Hotel. The track runs along the shores of Lake Pühajärv to the Murrumets forest. Once the track leaves the forest behind, it meets the road, where you have to look out for traffic. It then runs on to Kääriku along the Otepää-Kääriku road. There are some steep inclines along the track, which means that inexperienced cyclists and rollerbladers will need to be very careful.In winter, when there is enough natural snow, you can ski on the trail.
