The Pokuland theme park on the borders of Võru and Põlva Counties was created after a children’s book Pokumaa by Edgar Valter and after its main characters – Pokus. The prototypes of Pokus in nature are sedge tussocks.
The world of Pokus begins from the visitor's centre – Pokuhall – that looks like a twin-Poku and surprises guests with its unique stairways, passages and interior design elements.
In the Pokuhall visitors can see original illustrations and oil paintings by Edgar Valter, get to know his creative work and make Pokus themselves.
There are many other activities and events, such as study trails to introduce local nature, village swings to take a ride as well as picnic and camping sites.
