Alatskivi Castle Park, the largest park in Tartu County, sprawls over an impressive 130 hectares. This enchanting park was brought to life by squire von Stackelberg toward the close of the 18th century. Alatskivi Castle itself, a masterpiece designed by Arved von Nolcken, stands proudly amid the lush greenery and is undoubtedly one of the area's main attractions. Its towers and terraces provide stunning vistas of serene lakes, a charming church, and the picturesque landscape that stretches beyond.

Winding through the park, you'll find a well-marked hiking trail that invites explorers of all levels to wander and discover. The park is a haven for nature lovers, with its rich collection of native trees like lime, maple, and oak. As you stroll, imagine the stories these ancient trees could tell!
