Discover Lasva: Water Tower, Lake and Crafts

Lasva between the water tower, lake and regional culture

Lasva combines distinctive architectural heritage, creative offerings and a natural landscape to create a destination with a variety of opportunities for discovery. The Lasva Veetorn is particularly memorable: the water tower has been converted into an art gallery and information point. The design of the building itself makes a visit unusual, as its steps are shaped like piano keys. The Lasva Veetorn also features a grass-covered roof terrace with views of the surrounding landscape.

The Veetorn provides a specific starting point for this: you can combine an exhibition or the information point with the staircase's special architectural detail and then take in the view of the landscape from the roof terrace. Each attraction represents its own facet of Lasva.

Enjoying nature at Lasva järv

Lasva järv is part of the area's landscape. Lasva järv is a natural lake that is open to public use. Anyone who wants to take water and landscape into account alongside culture when planning their trip can include the lake as a separate part of their stay. It complements the cultural destinations with a peaceful, nature-oriented option.

Hands-on crafts

Another side of Lasva is showcased by the Lasva käsitööselts. The association offers practical activities for children, young people and adults. The activities may therefore be of interest to families who want not only to visit attractions during their trip but also to create something together. In winter, the Lasva käsitööselts organizes workshops, including ceramics and sewing workshops. The courses it organizes are open to everyone interested.

When choosing a holiday apartment or holiday home in Lasva, this focus can provide useful guidance: if you value cultural discoveries and practical activities, pay attention when planning your days to the respective offerings available in the area. The winter workshops add their own seasonal emphasis. At other times of year, the Lasva Veetorn, Lasva järv and the other cultural points of reference offer different reasons to get to know Lasva.

Church and regional event culture

The Pindi Jaani kirik is also part of the area's cultural history. It was built according to a design by the architect J. G. Mühlhausen. Laine Villenthal is another specific person associated with the church site: she served at the Pindi Church until 2004. Its history brings together J. G. Mühlhausen's design and Laine Villenthal's work there until 2004.

At larger summer events in the Lasva region and in Võru Parish, the Lasva käsitööselts sets up a café for visitors. Anyone planning their trip around such an event will find another regional connection to the association's work. For accommodation, Lasva remains a suitable option if you would like to combine the cultural, craft and landscape aspects described above in one stay. As another travel option, you can also see Lauga.
