Discover Malda

Malda combines a distinctive riverside setting with a special farm and garden experience. The village lies where the Malda oja stream flows into the Audru River. Tamme Farm is located on the picturesque Audru River, and its herb garden and regional products give the area its own distinctive, sensory character. Those looking for a holiday apartment in Malda will therefore find a travel destination here that brings together landscape, local history, and flavor.

A village between stream and river

The location at the confluence of the Malda oja and the Audru River defines the village’s geographical setting. For your travel planning, this means that Malda can be discovered not only through its place name, but also through its waterways and the associated character of the landscape. Tamme Farm is located in the village itself on the Audru River and provides a specific point of interest for anyone wishing to combine their stay with an insight into garden culture and local produce.

The history of the place name also offers an intriguing point of entry. The historical forms Malda Hannus (1531), Malda (1601), Mallast (1618), Maltta (1624), and Malda (1839) are documented for Malda. This sequence shows how differently the village was referred to at various times. Malda is also mentioned as a Neolithic settlement site. Those interested in the history of earlier settlements can therefore add this historical aspect to their visit without losing sight of the village as it is today.

Tamme Farm and its herb garden

Forgotten vegetable varieties and edible ornamental plants grow in the herb garden at Tamme Farm. The visit is therefore not aimed only at people interested in traditional garden designs. The garden also demonstrates an unusual connection between useful plants, design, and culinary use. A tour takes place together with the hostess. This gives you the opportunity to explore the garden with personal guidance.

This experience is offered as the package “Jalutuskäik Tamme talu ürdiaias koos perenaisega”. It has been awarded the EHE (Ehtne ja Huvitav Eesti) ecotourism quality label. The award applies to the package described and identifies it as a special part of Tamme Farm’s offerings. If you like to plan your trip around a specific activity, you can earmark this garden tour as a focus of its own.

Regional products to discover

The herb garden shop at Tamme Farm sells tea blends, flavored salts and spice blends, savory and gourmet jams, as well as herb oils. These products are made from herbs, chili peppers, berries, and vegetables grown and processed on the farm. This makes the garden world of Tamme Farm tangible beyond the tour itself: here, plants and produce form part of a cohesive farm profile.

Products from Tamme Farm’s range can be sampled on site. This focus can provide useful guidance when choosing your accommodation: a holiday apartment or holiday house in Malda is particularly well suited to your travel plans if you enjoy combining excursions with regional products, a guided discovery experience, and the manageable setting of a village. You are therefore choosing not just a place to sleep, but the character of the days you wish to spend here.

Malda as an appealing travel idea

Malda is well suited to travel planning in which the focus is not on a long list of major sights, but on getting to know one place in depth. The riverside setting, historical name forms, the mentioned Neolithic settlement site, and Tamme Farm each add a different accent. Families who want to explore together can tailor their stay according to their interests, focusing more on the landscape, history, or garden and culinary experiences. Tamme Farm, with its guided herb garden tour, products, and tastings, remains a particularly tangible point of reference in the village.
