Folk stories about Kalevipoeg go together with the landscape of Vooremaa. The names of the bed and hillfort of Kalevipoeg are colloquial names for two uplands in the landscape. One bed of Kalevipoeg, situated between villages Kukulinna and Elistvere, is shaped like a saddle. It is an esker with the height of 33.5 metres. Archaeological excavations have revealed that it was a stronghold named Jogentagana and used mainly between the 7th–11th centuries. The bed of Kalevipoeg in the village of Ehavere (Luua) is located on the left-hand bank of the River Amme.

Vooremaa Landscape Protection Area was founded in 1964 to protect the naturally beautiful and scientifically interesting landscape rich in lakes, large drumlins and the local cultural heritage. It extends 16 km from the northwest to the southeast and 4–8 km from the northeast to the southwest. The area of the reserve is 9,831 ha.
