Valga County

The terrain of Valga County ranges from the rolling Otepää Upland in the northeast to lower river valleys around Valga in the south, creating a varied southern Estonian interior. The Väike Emajõgi runs from Lake Pühajärv toward Lake Võrtsjärv, linking wooded shores, farmland and small settlements. Valga, the county seat, forms a cross-border twin town with Valka in Latvia; the state line passes through the urban area. At Sangaste Manor, Count Friedrich Georg Magnus Berg developed Sangaste rye, a grain still associated with Estonia’s agricultural heritage.
