A central point of reference is Uulu Church. It was built in 1880 as a memorial to Eleonore Staël von Holstein and served as the Staël von Holstein family’s private chapel. The church is privately owned and operated as the UKI Uulu Church Culture and Holiday Village. The associated offering includes a former church building and a guesthouse, as well as opportunities to hold events.

The historic Rose Garden Park is also part of the local history. The historic rose bed in the rose garden created by Baron Stael von Holstein was restored, and a memorial was also erected. A forest trail runs through the park and ends at the bridge over the Uulu Canal. Those who prefer to combine historic grounds with a longer route can include the Akaatsia allee. The more than one-kilometre-long carriage avenue is lined with acacias and oaks.

For walks, trails along the Akaatsia allee and through coastal pine forests are available at the UKI Uulu Church Culture and Holiday Village. Another specific trail connection leads through the Rose Garden Park to the bridge over the Uulu Canal. These different landscape elements provide a clear framework for planning your day: you can treat historic parks, a carriage avenue and forest trails as separate focal points.

Cyclists also have a named route connection. The EuroVelo 10 route leads south from Pärnu to Uulu Park. Those visiting Uulu as part of a cycling trip can incorporate this section into their travel plans. This does not imply any statements about distances, travel times or further route sections.

Uulu Lamba Vest includes a local food market. Uulu Lamba Vest was also held for the tenth time as a family festival. For travellers who would like to include regional food and an event explicitly described as a family festival in their plans, this connection is a distinct aspect of the location.

Another historic special feature is the Pärnu kihelkonna laulupidu. It took place in 1867 at Uulu Mole and on the grounds of the Rose Garden, and was the first event of its kind in Estonia. In this way, the history of the Rose Garden adds an event from the Estonian singing tradition to the local cultural history.

When looking for accommodation in Uulu, you can base your choice on the experiences you have planned. For a stay focused on cultural history, Uulu Church, the Rose Garden Park and the Akaatsia allee are the main attractions. For a more active itinerary, you can also include the forest trails, the trails through the coastal pine forests and the section of the EuroVelo 10 route. If regional impressions are important, you can also take the local food market and the history of Uulu Lamba Vest into account.

If you would like to compare Uulu with other destinations, you can find Tammiste, Pootsi, Salu, Pärnu, Kabli, Saulepa, Leina and Paikuse here. This allows you to expand your travel plans to several locations and place Uulu within the desired balance of culture, trails and regional impressions.
