Pähnamäe talu metsamajake

"Pähnamäe talu metsamajake" how does that name sound to you?
We like it, the cabin looks promising (though rather very basic) and we decide to spend our first night of the return trip right here at the shore of the lake.

Very small, very cold (at our arrival) and very basic - what a contrast after our last nights luxury accommodation.

The biggest surprise are the library and...the toilet! Dozens of books (mainly in Estonian language, but a few in English, French and German) of an age long time passed, some sorted out for exchange, some well kept for generations of nature lovers and fishermen to come.

The classical outhouse (which at first we couldn't find for it was well hidden behind the trees) is a totally different story: Double seater (for a nice chat at the beginning or the end of the day, or in between) with a nice view out to the lake the front door, all walls papered with artistic historic drawings of legendary moments in American, British and Russian history - all commented in Russian language. And, off course, it is exceptionally clean (and quite chilly in the morning because the night ended just about 0 degrees).

While we discover the most beautiful backroads getting to this place we also face a challenge which we will call in our future adventure tales "The 15 ton error": As we followed a small winding river which takes us to a very narrow bridge we have to pass to enter the town. The weight sign for the bridge is all rusty and hard to read - it says something like 15 ton limit. We ask an angler who is standing next to the bridge and he waves us along to pass it and to continue our way into town...and we do so. When we reached the other side the weight limit sign on the town side of the bridge is in much better shape, and it reads: 1,5 ton limit. Can you imagine how we felt?Baca lagi
