In the manor garden, berry bushes have been growing for some time and what could be even more invigorating than sipping a glass of summer-flavored liqueur on a crispy winter evening! Drink is made with vodka and berries, whoever wants a stronger drink adds more vodka to the variety; whoever likes it sweeter uses more sugar.

SOAP FELTING WORKSHOP

A simple and a quick-to-learn handicraft technique where wool is transformed into felt due to soapy water and rubbing. A good way is to start learning felting by felting a scented soap bar that gently exfoliates and massages the skin. The felt is friendly to the skin and when treated properly, it also prolongs the life of the soap.

Felted soap is ideal instead of a skin peeler. Felted soap is a great gift idea for yourself or friends – acquaintances to make a gift.

Bear viewing with NAUTOUREST

There is a very good opportunity to see and take pictures of bears, other wild animals and birds from the bear caves behind Alutaguse. Alutaguse is a well-known bear area, about half of Estonia’s 800 bears live there in the forests and swamps. Our caves are located in the western part of Alutaguse, near the Sirts swamp, a one and a half to two hour drive from Tallinn and Tartu. All bear viewing huts are comfortable and cozy, equipped with chairs, beds and toilets.
The two huts have a total of four separate cabins, each with two bunk beds. The observation windows are shaded on both sides. Hut is located in the forest, where mainly forest species are expected – bears, raccoons, woodpeckers, etc. Creek stream in the meadow, which is liked by the creatures of the open landscape can also be seen from the hut. Sometimes elk and goats come to lick the salt, the coyote hunts the mouse or the bald eagle circles the sky. A beaver or wild boar drink water on the shore.
Those interested in photography can take a picture through the window of the hut and, if desired, we can open a photo door equipped with a special photo bag, where you can take pictures on your tripod. If you wish, you can use our tripod. The hut is equipped with a dim light that does not disturb the animals, so it is possible to watch all night.
The new thing is the sensitive microphone next to the hut, which brings forest sounds to the hut through high-quality speakers. On some quiet nights, the world of sounds can offer even more powerful nature experiences than seeing the animals – you might hear the howl of a wolf herd, the wedding invitations of elk and the whistling of an owl.

PRICE 100 EUR/person
