Shepherd’s Adventure Trail is an interactive exhibition with game elements covering the entire museum, where visitors will participate in the working day of the young shepherd Ants and his faithful dog Muri. An exciting trail will take visitors to farmstead yards, into the woods and onto a blockfield, testing their ingenuity and dexterity. Within the day of a young shepherd, there is a place for work and play, joys and worries, fears and temptations.
The approximately 2 km long trail, which starts at the ticket office and heads towards Pulga Farm, combines athletic skill and endurance with playful nature education and fun activities. Whether it's practicing balance and learning animal tracks, or fishing and figuring out how to open old door locks.
On the
adventure trail with ten stops, you will be able to meet wild birds and
livestock, climb a tree, swing on the top of a birch tree, ride a pig and count
sheep while relaxing on the hay. Along the way, visitors also learn which
berries and mushrooms are edible and how to identify trees by their leaves. Together
you can plunge into the sacred atmosphere of the forest, learn to see and hear
nature. You will be able to shoot from a huge slingshot, try to get through the
undergrowth and find your balance. In the forest you will have to meet a wolf
and face your own fears, and on a swamp path you will have to pull a cow out of
a bog. How nice it will be to sit on a bench and stretch your tired legs when
you return to your home at Kolga farm!
Covering the trail takes at least two hours.
If you are tired, you can skip some stops.
Be careful when moving in nature and climbing trees!
The Shepherd`s Adventure Trail is open from April 12 to October 26.
During the winter season, the path is partially closed.
