Urge: Farm Tours, Animal Encounters and Artisanal Ice Cream

Those considering Urge as a travel destination will find several reasons to stay: Rehetalu Urge offers animal encounters, guided farm tours and hands-on workshops; Jäämari makes artisanal ice pops using pure ingredients, fresh fruit and fresh berries. A tour of the production building is also available. A different perspective is offered by the Urge kuristik karst feature south of the village of Aandu. Depending on your interests, you can focus on animal encounters, a look at ice cream production or a geological landscape feature. The location details help you distinguish clearly between these topics when planning your trip.

Farm experiences at Rehetalu Urge

At Rehetalu Urge, visitors can enjoy close encounters with rabbits, alpacas and exotic birds. Those who would like to explore the farm as part of a guided activity can join farm tours led by knowledgeable guides; the tours are suitable for visitors of all ages. Hands-on workshops focus on sustainable agriculture and animal care. The activities vary in how you take part: direct encounters with animals, an expert-guided farm tour or practical activities focused on agriculture and animal care. This lets you choose between meeting the animals, taking a guided tour and getting involved yourself.

Jäämari: Ice Cream and a Look at How It’s Made

Jäämari makes artisanal ice pops using pure ingredients, fresh fruit and fresh berries. Jäämari is located at Kiriku tee 2, Urge küla, 79743. Jäämari also offers a tour of the production building, where visitors can see how artisanal ice cream is made. The product details describe the ice pops in terms of their ingredients, while the tour offers a look at the production process. This gives you two clear points of interest when planning: the product and how it is made.

Karst Feature South of Aandu

Urge kuristik is a 2-hectare karst feature south of the village of Aandu and was placed under protection in 1959. At this karst feature, the Kadaka oja stream disappears underground. The area gives you a tangible sense of its size, while 1959 identifies the year it was placed under protection. Together with the stream, it creates a distinct focus for nature enthusiasts, bringing together a landscape feature and karst hydrology. For travelers interested in geology, this offers a different way to explore the area than the farm encounters or ice production.

Cycling and Walking Path

The 1.9 km Urge–Prillimäe–Salutaguse cycling and walking path officially opened on 21 November 2022. Its length gives you a concrete reference point for planning; if you intend to use the path, check its current accessibility in advance. As a planning option, a named cycling and walking route differs from the karst feature at Aandu: the route is the main focus, while Urge kuristik is a landform with a stream that disappears underground. This lets you choose between physical activity and a geological landscape feature.
