Erastvere park campsite

Roadside rest stop by the lake. Offers a possibility to swim and walk in the park. The graveyard of the Ungern-Sternberg family, founded on the hill in the Erastvere oak stand in 1883, is maintained in good condition.

This lakeside campsite lies in the old park of Erastvere manor in Põlva County, beside the Tartu–Võru road. The land belonged to the Baltic German Ungern-Sternberg family, and their graveyard, founded in 1883 in a grove of oaks on the hill, is still cared for. In 1997 a memorial chapel to Gerhard, the last lord of the manor, was built on the ruins of the earlier Marie Chapel, and the red-brick Conrad's Chapel by the lake still holds services. There is a swimming platform on Lake Erastvere, a 1 km path with information boards through the park, and the 38 km Kooraste cycling trail passes nearby.
