The top of the observation tower is 346.7 metres above sea level, offering views over the South-Eastern Estonian countryside full of lakes and forests for 50 km around.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Vastseliina Episcopal Castle (<em>ca<\/em> 20 km away)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Established in the 14th century by the Bishop of Tartu and masters of the Livonian Order, this castle was a well-known pilgrimage site in medieval times, thanks to its healing cross. However, the Great Northern War of 1702 left the Castle in ruins.<\/p>\n<p>At the foot of the castle, next to the Riga-Pihkva trade route, is Linnuse Tavern, which was first noted in a road atlas dating from 1695, along with a horse postal station.<br \/>\nIn 2012, a group of friends of Pirita Convent came up with the idea of a pilgrimage from one end of Estonia to the other. Vastseliina Episcopal Castle is a destination for pilgrimage.

The borders of the three countries meet in the south-eastern corner of Estonia, near the village of Parmu, which is just 10 km from Lake Pullij\u00e4rv.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Setumaa (or Setomaa in the Setu language)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The historical centre of Setomaa was Petseri, but nowadays it is considered to be the small town of V\u00e4rska.<\/p>\n<p>It is just 5 km to the border of ethnic Setomaa from Pullij\u00e4rve holiday village. 30 km away in Obinitsa, the Seto Museum showcases farm architecture, old tools and handicrafts from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A sight worth seeing in their own right are the <em>t\u0161\u00e4ssona<\/em> \u2013 chapels that can be found in almost every village in Setomaa.<br \/>\nMisso, where Pullij\u00e4rve Holiday Village is located, is part of the Seto K\u00fcl\u00e4v\u00fc\u00fc travel route, which gives you a great overview of all of the sights in Setomaa. Learn more about the Seto K\u00fcl\u00e4v\u00fc\u00fc here: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitsetomaa.ee\/\">www.visitsetomaa.ee<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Nipernaadi sauna<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In 1982, a couple of scenes were filmed for the classic Estonian movie Nipernaadi by this sauna, situated on the eastern shore of Lake Pullij\u00e4rv.<\/p>\n<p>The sauna is easily visible from the peninsula which, incidentally, is the best place to swim on the lake.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>R\u00f5uge (<em>ca<\/em> 30 km away)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Nightingale Valley in R\u00f5uge is by far the most well-known tourist magnet in the area after Suur Munam\u00e4gi. Its 30-metre observation tower with its remarkable architecture opened in 2016. An outstanding work of engineering and sight to behold in R\u00f5uge is its water-powered pump dating from 1939. The town also boasts the deepest lake in Estonia, R\u00f5uge Suurj\u00e4rv. In 2010, a monument called \u2018Estonian Mother\u2019 was erected in R\u00f5uge municipality.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Rogosi Castle Manor (<em>ca<\/em> 16 km away)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Rogosi Castle Manor in the village of Ruusm\u00e4e was first mentioned in 1597, and the name derives from that of a Polish duke (Stanislaw Rogozinski) who owned the manor from 1603-1625 and built a wooden fortification in place of the former castle or medieval settlement.<br \/>\nNowadays, the manor hosts an accommodation and catering establishment and offers tours on which you can learn about the house. Learn more at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rogosi.ee\/\">www.rogosi.ee<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Farms in the area<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There are two well-known Estonian farms close to Pullij\u00e4rve Holiday Village, both of which sell farm goods and all the delicacies you could imagine. Nopri Farm (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nopri.ee\/\">www.nopri.ee<\/a>) produces a range of dairy products that can be found in supermarkets all over the country. On the farm you can buy all of their products and go on a tour with the family when arranged in advance.<br \/>\nAndri-Peedo Farm calls itself the most modern goat farm in Northern Europe, its main products being goat\u2019s milk, cheese and meat. With advance notice, anyone interested can take a tasting tour with the possibility to buy products to take home.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Other points of interest<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>30 km away in Piusa River Valley Nature Park there are Devonian sandstone outcrops called H\u00e4rma M\u00e4emine and H\u00e4rma Alumine. The former is the highest Devonian sandstone outcrop in Estonia (at 43 metres), while the latter stands 20.5 metres high and is one of the most spectacular cliff faces in the valley for its multi-coloured layers.<\/p>\n<p>Those interested in all things military should drive 28 km to Zeltin in Latvia to visit a nuclear missile base from the Soviet era, which is open to tourists.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div id='av-masonry-1' class='av-masonry av-av_masonry_gallery-e7833a655010e376c3b54919a31974e7 noHover av-fixed-size av-large-gap av-hover-overlay-
