Von Glehn's Nõmme - let there be a town!
Nikolai von Glehn can be considered the father of Nõmme. He was a man who dared to think big and wasn't afraid to differ from the mainstream of his time. Of course, he also had his weaknesses. Although Glehn had studied economics, he was never a successful businessman nor systematic enough to realize his comprehensive vision for the town. As a result, many of his ambitious ideas remained only on paper, and instead of great respect, the founder of Nõmme was seen more as an eccentric at the end of the Tsarist era. On this tour we'll explore what the founder of the town envisioned for the future of Nõmme. We'll see which of his plans were realized and which ones went differently. Unlike the Matkafy series' Estonian Rupublic-era Nõmme tour, this tour visits Nõmme's oldest and most historically rich places.

"Thank you for the wonderful hiking format that is both beneficial for physical health and enriching for the mind! Even those who have lived in the area for years have gained new and exciting knowledge from your hikes. And on top of that, the beautifully arranged tea break offers not only warm tea but also visual delight and a musical experience! We have been very satisfied with all the hikes we have booked, and we will definitely meet again!"

"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!"
