A visitor centre made of ecological materials has been built at the beginning of the Emajõgi River, in the Rannu-Jõesuu recreation area. There, a National Geographic yellow window awaits the culture and nature lover, being at the same time one of the 21 places worth discovering in South Estonia.
The Lake Võrtsjärv region can be described as a mystical natural place with its fishing villages and the Tondisaar island. Interestingly, 1.3 km north of the northern shore of Lake Võrtsjärv is the Leie Offering Stone, which is said to have miraculous healing powers and under which musiciants are said to play at night.
- The visitor centre houses the Võrtsjärve I point, where information material on the surrounding businesses and maps of the area are available. Free wifi connection for visitors.
- Handicrafts from small producers and local fishermen from the region are available at the visitor centre.
- The Jõesuu recreation area surrounding the visitor centre has a public car park, a beautiful sandy beach on the Emajõgi River, an even more beautiful sandy beach on Lake Võrtsjärv and a playground for children.
- In cooperation with a number of partners, we offer developmental learning activities - on topics such as crafts, health, home-made wine making, cooking or playing a musical instrument.
