As the race goes along the Otepää-Sihva road, parking alongside the road is not allowed.
Everyone has to obey the instructions of the police, race marshals and traffic controllers, both when parking and during the race.

HOW TO GET THERE

The easiest way to reach Pühajärve from abroad is to fly to Tartu airport, 40 km from Pühajärve, but as it is a small airport, it has its limitations with connecting flights to other major airports. Therefore we would recommend Tallinn Airport which is 220km away, but has good connections all over the Europe.

Another option to reach Pühajärve is flying to Riga in Latvia; from there it is around 200 km to Pühajärve. Riga airport is covered by Air Baltic and Ryanair. Transfers are arranged upon request (please contact Ova e-mail adresa je zaštićena od spam robota, nije vidljiva ako ste isključili JavaScript ).
