Rocca al Mare - the shocking truth about farm life!
Almost all Estonians have been to the Open Air Museum, seen the beautiful homesteads, and probably dreamed of relaxing in such an idyllic place on a nice summer day. In reality, the life of our ancestors was anything but rosy. If we're being honest, a person accustomed to today's living standards probably wouldn't last a day in those conditions. As an example, outhouses only started appearing in farmyards in the 1920s - where did people relieve themselves before that? What were the considerations for marriage, what was hygiene like, and how were children raised? These are just some of the topics covered on this tour. But not just that - we'll also venture outside the main exhibits to see what else can be found in Rocca al Mare!
Did you know that you can book tours at the Estonian Open Air Museum with various guides, but many people's favourite Matkafy guide Mihkel also has his own old farm, which makes this topic particularly close to his heart?
Please note that for private tours at the Open Air Museum, a fee of 6€ + VAT per participant is added to the price of the private tour. This is the entrance fee for the ticketed territory.

"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!"
