Illuminated kicksled trip in Taevaskoja

Saesaare parkla, Põlva vald, Põlva maakond, 63229

Come to Southern Estonia to Taevaskoda and experience a winter night by taking illuminated kicksleds along snowy trails! The guided, illuminated trip to Taevaskoda is an unforgettable journey to Põlvamaa, into the snowy Ahja River Valley – home to winter light, silence, and legends. It is a peaceful winter experience, using illuminated kicksleds to travel along snowy forest trails. The kicksled trip lasts approximately 2.5 hours, is suitable for beginners, and takes place at a gentle pace with breaks.
This is a great choice if you are looking for something special for a family trip, a group of friends, a company outing, or a birthday. The trip can be enriched with a campfire meal at Maitsemaa Metsarestoran.
What is an illuminated kicksled?
The illuminated kicksled, developed by Matkajuht, features LED lights that shine in four directions and a comfortable seat. It is not an ordinary sled with a bicycle light or headlamp. It has been specially designed for travel in the dark, so that the light shines discreetly, softly, and diffusely, without dazzling.
