TRANSPORTATION INFO WILL BE PUBLISHED SHORTLY.

MÄEOTSA DISC GOLF PARK is situated in Pólva, about 50 km southeast of Tartu, on a beautiful Estonian farm with a brook running through the course and some steep hills and canyons. You will find the place most interesting. The driving time to Tallinn is about 3 hours and distance about 230 km. The distance from the center of Pólva is 4 km.
DRIVING ISTRUCTIONS from Tallinn: Take Tartu Highway ( Tartu Mnt, Highway 2) south, pass Tartu from the right following signs to Vóru. There are 4 traffic circles (roundabouts) a couple of kilometres apart; go straight though all of them. After the third one drive 8 km, turn left on road 61 towards Pólva. Entering Pólva go right in the first traffic circle. The second circle is more like an oval. Go straight = circle first right and then left. There will be a gas station on the left. Drive 400 meters and you will pass a stand of trees and a building on the left, after that turn left on a gravel road (second road from the gas station). About 25 meters from the turnoff there is a lone tree on the left. Follow the winding, hilly road for 2,2 km, turn left on an even smaller road (there is a white brick house on the right). On the right of the dirt road there is an open electric transformer. Follow the road into yard.
Pólva is easy to reach also from the south, e.g. Riga, on Highway A2 = E77, then turn towards Vóru on Estonian Hwy 2 and road 64 towards Pólva.
