This day we followed the Kalevipoeg´s footprints in Southern Estonia. Our first stop was in Vooremaa by Lake Saadjärv in the Ice Age Centre. Here we learned how the landscape of Estonia was created by the glaciers of that time- the drumlins (voored in Estonian) what local people called Kalevipoeg ´s plough furrows.

In Tartu  we met Kalevipoeg himself - actually his monument which commemorates the soldiers died in the Estonian Liberty War 1918-1920. Kalevipoeg is  a symbol of bravery, freedom and hope for the better future.

Next we found the Faehlmann´s house in Ülikooli street. Robert Faehlmann, one of the main figures of the national awakening period in Estonia in the 19th century. Elias Lönnrot was Faehlmann´s friend. He lived and worked in Faehlmann´s house for a half of a year.

On our way home we made a stop in Kääpa and walked in the park of the Kalevipoeg´s museum.

Everyone tried to climb up the Kalevipoeg´s chair!

Another stop - this time at Lake Peipsi, in the town Mustvee. This is the place where Kalevipoeg wanted to build a town and walked through the lake to Russia to fetch planks and stones.

And so the long day ended. Tomorrow we are travelling and hiking round the Illuka Community.
