Pikajärve: Lake, Amusement Park and Manor Culture

Pikajärve combines a distinctive lake landscape with a variety of experiences around Cantervilla. Lake Pikajärv has high banks and is more than 23 metres deep. This gives the landscape a special setting for days by the water, activities in the amusement park and discoveries surrounding the historic manor estate world.

Water experiences on Lake Pikajärv

Visitors to Cantervilla Castle Amusement Park can use pedal boats, boats and canoes on Lake Pikajärv. This makes it possible to combine a stay at the amusement park with various ways of spending time on the water. You can also fish in Lake Pikajärv. Those who prefer a quieter part of the day therefore have another way to experience the landscape.

The private beach at Pikajärv belongs to Cantervilla and the amusement park and is suitable for visitors to swim in during the summer. This combination of beach, lake and other park attractions makes Pikajärve appealing to travellers who do not want to fill their days exclusively with sightseeing or excursions. When planning your accommodation, it is worth considering in advance how much time you want to devote to water activities and how much to cultural attractions.

Cantervilla between play, views and history

Cantervilla also offers specific reasons for a group outing away from the lake. In the climbing area, a five-metre-high suspension bridge leads to a viewing platform overlooking the lake and the play area. An orienteering game in the park of Cantervilla manor guides participants to the park's sights in order to find an answer. This creates a visit that combines movement, observation and playful exploration.

A ticket to Cantervilla Amusement Park includes a visit to Cantervilla Castle and its exhibitions. The halls of the main building are decorated with landscape paintings and portraits. In addition, the Ait-kuivati Museum shows how grain was grown and dried on manor estates. Those interested in rural history, buildings and paintings can therefore add cultural and historical impressions to their stay without losing their connection to the landscape around Lake Pikajärv.

Choose accommodation to suit your travel plans

For families and other travel groups, Pikajärve offers different starting points for planning the day: water activities, swimming, fishing, climbing elements, an orienteering game and exhibitions each appeal to different interests. A holiday apartment in Pikajärve may therefore be particularly suitable if you want to organise your days flexibly between active pursuits and more leisurely sightseeing.

Cantervilla's Tallisaali Café, located directly at the entrance, provides a place to take a break during your visit. It offers hot meals, salads, sweets, drinks and ice cream. This adds a practical dining option to an excursion, without requiring you to limit your visit exclusively to a single activity. This way, you can give different importance to the day at the lake, in the amusement park and at the castle complex, and shape your trip around the interests of your group.
