Experience the beautiful northern wilderness and unique folklore of Estonia with the help of AEGEE-Tartu and AEGEE-Tallinn.
Join us as we undertake a journey through magical Nordic forests, plains, bogs and unravel the mythological beliefs of Ancient Estonians, while also enjoying the nightlife of cities on the way. Learn the fascinating stories behind forest spirits and the giant king Kalevipoeg. Feel the warm, smooth sand between your toes while smelling the beachside Baltic pine. Pick fresh blueberries on an island in the Baltic Sea. Broaden your horizons with many thematic and cultural workshops and practise those skills straight away. All the while meeting other active, sociable and nature-loving AEGEEans.
Our travels begin where some of the organisers’ hearts reside - the university town of Tartu. There we will get to meet each other, we will learn of Tartu and the basics of Estonian folklore and mythology. Next we will go to the small yet beautiful seaside town of Haapsalu, where a great castle guards the shore. From there, a short voyage through the Sea of Straits leads us to the great mythological island of Hiiumaa, where the window to Ancient Estonia remains clearest. Finally, we will arrive at the Jewel of the Baltic - Tallinn, where we will explore the famous Old Town and end our adventure.
