Iru - Kalevipoeg and Vikings!

It is said that in every legend there’s a grain of truth, and so is the case with stories of Kalevipoeg. The Iru hillfort also plays a role in our national epic - but what is it? Find out on the tour! Iru with its notable hillfort is really a fantastic place to talk about Viking-age Estonia. Who were our ancestors? What kind of life and beliefs did they have? Out of all Matkafy tours, this route takes you through the earliest and most thrilling historical era. Based on the latest historical research, we take an intriguing journey back in time. And that’s not all! Other interesting stops on the way include the positions of the much-discussed Peter the Great’s naval fortress, apocalyptic old gardening lands, a massive power station, notorious Tupsi farm, historical Väo manor and Konstantin Päts’ great farm.
