Elva has two larger lakes. Lake Verevi has a sandy and well-developed beach area that is very popular in the summer and is host to many outdoor events. Lake Arbi has wet reed grown shores. Elva's largest employer (and in all of southern Estonia) is Enics Eesti AS, subsidiary of Enics Group, providing electronics manufacturing services in industrial electronics. Elva has one school, Elva Gümnaasium, offering education from 1st grade to high school graduation. The dominant element in Elva is the train station which today is the visitors information center and which used to be an important trade route in the past centuries. Detailed information on hikes on foot or by bicycle can be obtained from visitors information center. Canooer’s favorite is the river of Elva with old water mill sites and rapid banks. In winter skiing fans can participate in the Tartu Cross-Country Marathon, belonging to the Worldloppet series. Its 60 km track from Otepää to Elva can be cycled through on mountain bikes in summer. |
