During the trip, we will practise Estonian, learn many new and exciting things, and get acquainted with the customs and traditions of Peipsimaa.

As the trip takes place in the heart of winter, we take the Onion Route to celebrate tõnisepäev (feast day of St. Anthony the Great). As Estonian winters are unpredictable, we have two itineraries this time.

According to plan A (which requires ice on Lake Peipsi), we will have a karakat safari on the lake, go fishing, and have a tea ceremony at Samovar House.

According to plan B (if there is no ice on Lake Peipsi), we will have a tea ceremony and a cookie decorating workshop and visit the Voronja gallery at the Samovar House.

The weather of the first weeks of January will dictate which plan we will follow.
