P\u00f5ltsamaa is a small and lovely town situated just in the heart of Estonia. The area is known for its bridges, parks and roses, making it a romantic destination especially during summertime. The third longest river in Estonia – River P\u00f5ltsamaa – flows through the town center.<\/p>\n

Being a small town itself, P\u00f5ltsamaa surprises its visitors with a total on 19 bridges crossing the River P\u00f5ltsamaa, connecting the banks with river islands, or crossing the moat. Due to that, P\u00f5ltsamaa is also called as Estonian capital of bridges<\/strong>. The newest of them are the Church Hill (Parvei) Bridge \u2013 a suspension bridge built in 2006 at a former bridge location – and S\u00e4rtsu Bridge near the Rose islet. The river can be crossed via four bridges, but only one of them – The Great Bridge – is accessible by car. In 2013, the Great Bridge dam was renovated and a modern fish ladder was built there – it has been called the construction of the century in P\u00f5ltsamaa.<\/p>\n

Walking on the bridges and finding them all is a great spare time activity for locals and tourist. A free map of 19 bridges is available in P\u00f5ltsamaa Castle Tourist Information<\/strong>. Should you like to have the bridges tour with a guide, you are welcome to order a guide via +372 775 1390 or loss@poltsamaa.ee.<\/p>\n

When exploring the bridges, the order is not set – you can start the tour from any bridge!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
