Hikes

Sunset spring hike
FRI 25.07 at 20.00, starts in front of the Kondas Centre

This hike takes you to the springs of Viljandi. We’ll talk about water and taste the water. The festival’s theme “Off the Ground!” naturally flows into the hike’s spirit. After all, a spring is water trying to break free from the earth, making its way toward a stream or lake. From there, it eventually reaches the sea and, quite literally, lifts off the ground to become a cloud once more. But what happens when we take too much from the land…? That’s a conversation for the trail.
The spring hike lasts until sunset. Your guide is the man of nature Peep Tobreluts.

Midnight hike
SAT 26.07 at 01.00 (on the second festival night after the Friday programme has ended), starts in front of the Kondas Centre

The hike begins at 1 a.m. and is more of a quiet glide – moving as silently as possible. We’ll wander through the sleeping city, discovering something new in the old. Have you ever noticed how the night air feels lighter than during the day? Almost like it gives you wings! And yet, walking in the dark makes you lift your feet higher to avoid stumbling, giving a whole new meaning to the festival theme “Off the Ground!”.
We’ll make no noise!

NB! For safety reasons, we can only allow 15 people to join the hike and underage participants are only allowed if accompanied by an adult. Get there early to guarantee a spot!
