Tartu Bike Marathon track

A beautiful bog lake hides in the shade of a pine forest in the northern part of the Lulli bog next to Lake Võrtsjärv. The natural lake is large (23 ha) and very shallow (there is only a metre of water here).The hiking trail starts at the information stand in the car park. Further on, the boardwalk leads directly to the water, which offers scenic views of the lake and the surrounding bog landscape. The short hiking trail (2.3 km) runs around the lake. It is impossible to get lost here, because the trail is circular and everyone finally gets back to the starting point.In the second half of the summer, cloudberries, blueberries, cranberries, and mushrooms can be picked from the surroundings.

We love good coffee and nature-friendly thinking. As a result, we had the idea to establish a roastery in the cosiest district in Tartu – Karlova. Here, we always offer coffee that is delicious, fresh, and eco-friendly. The selection is available HERE.In the same ‘room’ as the roastery, you will find a cosy cafe where we work hard every day to ensure that our coffee is the best it can be.Our second favourite is porridge: in the morning and at noon on weekdays, you can try it out!On Sundays, we offer delicious pancakes.

The production of Rüüp wine is located in the village of Ihamaru, Ala Juusa farm in Põlva. We make craft wines mainly from our grown berries and apples. We started growing wines in 2022. We kindly show our activities to visitors: let's talk about how vines grow in Estonia and how grapes become wine, tasting different drinks, introducing a production space that we affectionately call a sip kitchen among ourselves. We also offer accommodation in a holiday home with a sauna and hot tub.
