The smoke sauna belonging to the Pedaja Holiday Farm complex comfortably accommodates up to 6 people for steaming. For larger groups, vacationers can alternately enjoy the pleasures of the smoke sauna and the relaxing effect of the hot tub. For a change, the body can be cooled on the sauna terrace or in the nearby pond among water lilies. To enrich the sauna experience, we also offer a mobile car sauna — the car sauna is built into the trunk of a GAZ 52 car, which can be driven to a location suitable for the group. It is possible to order sauna masters to perform smoke sauna rituals. This procedure adds a deep cultural dimension to the experience. The sauna pleasure can be combined with the entire complex holiday experience, making the whole event memorable. The smoke sauna culture originates from the Estonian rural tradition passed down from generation to generation, and UNESCO has recognized the Võromaa smoke sauna tradition as an intangible cultural heritage. This means it is not just a sauna, but an experiential combination of culture, relaxing routine, and nature.

Locals call the artificial hill on the Toome Hill, in the immediate vicinity of the Cathedral, the Kissing Hill. It was built in the 19th century as part of the park’s romantic design over the former Moscow Rondel at Karl XI Bastion. Today, stairs lead to the Kissing Hill and at the top, there is a viewing platform with benches. Next to the Kissing Hill, there is a monument to the poet Kristjan Jaak Peterson, between the sacrificial stone, the hill, and the cathedral. The place has been popular with young couples who take pictures there. There have been open-air performances on and around the Kissing Hill.

St. Mary’s Church in Tartu was built in 1842 to be the home church of the city of Tartu and the Estonians in the parish. Prominent parish members included, for example, M. Härma, L. Koidula, and J. V. Jannsen. In 1869, the first Estonian song festival was initiated in St. Mary's Church in Tartu, which is why the church is also called the cradle of the song festival.The church was destroyed on July 12, 1941 and was reconstructed as a gym for the Estonian Academy of Agriculture. The church remained as a sanctuary for sports in Tartu for almost 50 years.The church was returned to the parish again in 2009 and is presently being restored.
