02.10.2010 - Lahemaa National Park

The group left Kadrina at 10.00 in the morning and the first stop was in Palmse manor. We had a stroll in the main building, the park and some other buildings. There was an opportunity to see an exhibition of various old bicycles. Then we went to the visitors' centre and watched a short film about Lahemaa National Park. After that we headed off to go on a very small hiking trail called "The beaver's trail". When everyone finished the walk, we went to have lunch in Sagadi manor. After the meal and a short look around the estate we went to see the traditional Altja fishermen's village. Besides everything else, there was a swing, which we Estonians find so common and natural, but provided a hour of fun for all the guests. Because everyone got carried away by the simple entertainment of swinging, we arrived in Kadrina an hour later than we planned, luckily no-one seemed to mind that. There were no other activites planned for the day, so the evening Was free for all the guests.
