About Otepaa

Otepää (formerly Nuustaku) is a town in Valga County, southern Estonia, it's the administrative centre of Otepää Parish. Town has a population of 2,189 (as of 1 November 2009).[1] Otepää is a popular skiing resort, popularly known as the "winter capital" of Estonia (in contrast to the "summer capital" Pärnu). It is the site of an annual FIS Cross-Country World Cup event. From much of Oteppaa you can see the beautifully lit church across a small valley. The light was too weak for a picture, so I went closer. Having been to Russia, I think it's remarkably how well preserved the Estonian cities and villages are. Many places in Russia there would be a big fat tractor factory placed right next to anything old and cultural all in the name of proogress. The Estonians managed to dodge that in the Sovjet area. The sun set can give some amazing scenery, where you think there must be a fire in the distance. The sky explodes in all colours from pink to dark blue, and remember this starts at 3pm in the winter. Sun is gone around 4.15pm. Otepaa golf course will be an 18-hole course when it's completely finnished. It opened in 2005, and in 2006 there should be 9 holes opened. The surroundings looked beautifull and it's located very near the Puhajarve Puhkekeskus Spa Hotel Puhajarve (Holy Lake) is located right outside Otepaa, and it was once blessed by the Dalai Lama. It's a nice place to go swimming and it has a nice sandby beach, or so I was told. I was there in the wintertime, so I didn't really fancy a swim. Otepaa has two small ski centres where you can try some down hill skiing. I believe the emphasis is on hill in this case, because the highest point in Estonia is about 350m. To the south west of Otepaa you find the biggest centre shown in this picture. I didn't try, but I understood there were two slopes.
