Did you know ?

Pühajärv means “the Holy Lake”. And Otepää (translates to“bear’s head”) after the shape of the castle hill - which reminds you of a bear’s head. It’s also where in 1224, Bishop Hermann started building the first known brick castle in Estonia, The Stone Fort.

Tere!

The Estonian “Hello” is an abbreviation of “Teretulnud” which means “Welcome”. Tere at TriStar111 and TriStar11.1 Estonia in Otepää! Thank you for choosing this Race!
