One region, three cultures - Russian Orthodox Old Believers, traces of the German barons era, and Estonian cultural history. Lake Peipus area is a somewhat mystical place where on one hand Russian Old Believers who in the 17^th century became separated from the official Russian Orthodox Church and emigrated to Estonia, live in their unique one-street village trying to preserve their religion, history and traditions.

 We meet the small minority known as the Old Believers, who arrived in this area over 300 years ago, fleeing persecution in Russia. They have kept their religion, traditions and life style and are gradually
beginning to welcome visitors. During the tour we see their traditional architecture, the so called "row-villages", visit one of the museums and churches and meet some of them at their work or home.

The historic Tartu-Võru-Pihkva  postal road leads a different life today than hundreds of years ago when it was used for delivering post to Pskov, Russia.

One old postal inn is now a handicraft workshop, where everyone is welcome to try their hand in making various interesting items. There are several museums along the route that give an overview of the history and the different periods.

 During this tour we learn about one of the Estonian minorities, the Setu people, who inhabit the corner of southeast Estonia. Seeing their traditional customs, their way of life and meeting some of them in their own homes, gives us an opportunity to understand how they have survived throughout the centuries.
