Käsmu - a delightful captains' village!

Becoming a captain was the dream job of the coastal crowd for generations, but there is no other place besides Käsmu that can boast a total of 64 captains! What made it possible for this small fishing village to have such success in seafaring? On this tour we won’t stick to just maritime history, but explore Käsmu’s other facets through the memories of locals. What were the relationships between locals and border guards during the Soviet era? How did a closed border zone settlement manage to become a summertime holiday destination for the Soviet elites? Every success story must have some setbacks - does Käsmu have a dark side too? See you in Käsmu - the village with breathtaking nature, diverse history and inspiring people!

"I would like to give a big shout-out to Mihkel for yesterday’s tour at Fahle City! ❤️ I think the biggest compliment I can give is that it went exactly the way I had imagined and hoped it would 😊 It was truly great — pleasantly humorous, informative, well-paced and perfectly on schedule. We have also received very positive initial feedback from our people. On top of that, quite a few people said they would love to organize a Matkafy Lantern Hike for their own team event and that they are even going to take a look at what other exciting tours you offer. 😉So, I am extremely happy and would like to thank Mihkel once again for the excellent cooperation!"
