Sunday Hikes

There is a wonderful annual tradition in town Viljandi - Sunday hikes, which destinations are beautiful natural places and cultural sights. People ski in winter, but during summer, spring and autumn season there are bicycle rides. Families, friends and also work companions take a walk together.

The walks offer many opportunities to discover and learn more about local history, nature and cultural heritage. The destinations of hikes have been old manor houses, tourism farms and various kind of sights. Organisers have arranged excursions and concerts of national music at the destinations. It is not difficult to find destinations of the Sunday hikes, because Viljandi area is culturally and naturally very rich.

The chosen destination places are far from the main roads where people go not so often. Usually there are 35 such events during a year including 10 ski hikes and in total about 550 participants participate in different age participate in these hikes.

At the end point participants are welcome with hot or cold drinks and it is possible to get an occasional stamp. Two-three times a year in connection with those hikes a competition with prizes is organised in order to activate more people.
