Dirhami and Estonian Swedes - a minority group dear to us!

Estonians haven't easily accepted minority populations in their country. The Estonian Swedes, however, are an exception. We always speak well of them and feel regret that the centuries-old population faded in the turmoil of World War II. Who knows, if we could, we would even make room for them once more. But who were the Estonian Swedes? Why do we hold them in such high regard? Where did they come from and what kind of life did they live? All of it is explored on this tour. Naturally, we’re visiting the Estonian Swedes’ native settlements - the villages of Spithami and Dirhami. The region has breathtakingly beautiful pine forests and seemingly boundless sandy beaches. This is a wonderful nature and history tour with fascinating topics.
