The best way to encounter the Tindioru water rams is to embark on an exciting hike along the Rõuge primeval valley trail.The water ram is a "perpetual motion" pump that uses only the energy of water and is capable of pumping water to heights of tens of meters. There are two water rams in Tindioru: the first was built in 1939 and the second in 2002. The Tindioru water rams are rare tools that combine smart engineering and the interplay of natural forces. They can be considered a kind of symbol of Rõuge's inventive spirit — a time when everything had to be built by hand and in harmony with nature. When the ice-cold spring water starts to make the ram buzz, the whole valley seems to come to life. The sight is particularly enchanting in early spring, when the cold has shaped the water ram's splashes into tall and marvelous ice sculptures. Glittering in the sunlight, they appear like fairy tale castles emerging from the earth. The Tindioru water rams are a living memory of a time when water was man's main source of energy — and proof that genius lies in simplicity.

The Tartu Song Celebration Museum is located in a 19th-century classicist building, where the organizer of the first Estonian Song Festival and founder of the national theater, the Vanemuine Society, operated. The first Estonian-language play, written by Lydia Koidula, premiered here. Koidula was a prominent female poet of the Estonian National Awakening, who thereby laid the foundation for the Estonian national theater. The museum offers an introduction to the Song Celebration tradition as well as the 150-year history and heritage of the Vanemuine Theater. Visitors can take part in interactive exhibitions, virtual reality experiences, workshops, and guided tours. The museum park is also open during opening hours.

Between Hellenurme, Elva, and Otepää, there is a unique opportunity to see Estonia's last historical water-powered flour and grist mill in operation – the Hellenurme Water Mill. Upon arrival, we explore the mill building and views over the mill pond to Hellenurme Manor, then we open the turbine, and the mill begins to work, powered by water. Through the mill's four floors, you can see, touch, and feel the power of the mill, and soon fresh flour and grist fall into the bag as in the old days. In the bread house, you can try breadmaking under the guidance of the Mill Mistress, honoring traditions and telling stories about bread and the wisdom of ancestors. In the bread trough, dough is kneaded from sourdough. Each guest molds their own little loaf from a dough ball, which the Mill Mistress throws into the large bread oven with an old bread peel. Soon, the bread house fills with the smell of bread, and each guest can take their loaf from the oven, which tastes warm and buttery like an unforgettable dessert! As writer Juhan Liiv wrote: "... warm bread – imagine!"
