Estonia’s Tartu County is versatile both in terms of its nature and culture. It has the town of Elva set in a pine wood, the Vooremaa drumlin area, a remnant of the Ice Age, the eel-rich Lake Võrtsjärv lined with reed beds, major wetlands at both ends of the River Emajõgi, the undulating Kambja and Pangodi area that will progress into uplands slightly further south, primeval forests at Järvselja and the banks of Lake Peipsi, one of the largest fresh-water bodies in northern Europe, on the banks of which Russian-speaking Old Believers grow the best onions in Estonia. The Emajõgi cuts the county, and indeed the whole of Estonia, into two halves. In olden times its served as the boundary between two major dialectal groups, as well as frames of mind. Yet the county also has unifying features: conservative balance, a patriotic spirit, cultured interests and the will to learn. In fact, learning and aspiration for education is the most important common denominator for the county. It is the county where the first Estonian schools for peasants’ children opened and where the only classical university in Estonia attracts students from near and far. The aura of the county seat, the educational and research centre of Tartu, prevails over the whole county and its people have picked fostering education and research as their development strategy.
