Estonian Road Museum

Kanepi vald, Põlva maakond, 63122

The Estonian Road Museum showcases the development of roads and traffic in Estonia, from the horse era to the present day. Exciting thematic events are organized here, educational guided tours are offered, and rooms are rented for seminars and celebrations.
The heart of the museum is the historic Varbuse horse post station, which, together with the outdoor exhibition environment Teeaeg, forms a unique look at history.
The Machine Hall is the museum’s technical park and interactive traffic education center. It also houses a rotating car and the Estonian Road Museum’s traffic safety simulator, which offers an immersive experience and a clear understanding of how seat belts save lives.
The standout features of the outdoor areas are the historic road room, where you can seemingly travel back in time, and the recreation area with a traffic city, which offers activities for the whole family, especially during the summer season.
Temporary exhibitions are held in the main building of the post station, and the second floor houses a children’s museum created specifically for younger visitors.

Nöösker meadery tour with mead tasting

We are a meadery, and each drink tells a story of curiosity and creativity; each sip is a tribute to the nature and flavors of our homeland. And, of course, to the invaluable contribution of bees because without them, there would be no mead. Nöösker is Estonia's first modern meadery. We break tradition, combining the wisdom of beer and wine masters in a new way. At the heart of our meads are Estonian honey, berries, fruits, and more exotic spices. Come and discover this restless animal — Nöösker. Bring your companions for a visit (by reservation!), and we will introduce you to the world of mead for an hour and a half.
