The sounds of civilization rarely reach the yard of this sauna cabin. The archaic complex, preserved in its natural state, is located near the Ohepalu bog on a small clearing at the edge of the bog. Only the first inhabitants of the estate — Kargu Kaarel and Kargu Leena — observe the happenings from pictures hanging on the wall.
Already at the door, an indescribable old scent greets the visitor, bringing to mind childhood, grandmother's times, or an open-air museum where you can actually live.
It is in houses like these that Estonians have lived for centuries. This is the environment in which we have grown into a resilient and strong nation over time.
The historical small farmer's estate in Northern Estonia at Linnumäe is the only well-preserved sauna cabin in the area. It has survived to this day without electricity, and lighting is provided only by candles and oil lamps.
