Vi fortsätter genom lera å snö på Trans Euro Trail genom Estland 🇪🇪 där vi avslutar det stora däck testet. Vilka däck är bäst? Väl på båten börjar det brinna ❤️🔥😂 tackar för att ni viljat följa med oss på denna resan. Det är inte sista gången vi kör tet i Baltikum.
Trans euro Trail Det är 2 April och vi tänkte att det är nog vår i balt länderna så vi tar båten över för att köra Trans Euro Trail. Och även göra ett däck test. Vi kör kittade Ktm 500 och en Beta 480 med lätt packning. Det blir en resa vi sent kommer glömma

ROUTE OVERVIEW
The route generally follows the State Forest Management Center managed hiking trails using mainly gravel and forest roads. Shorter sections can also be more technical and there are some asphalt sections too - especially around the capital. Following the hiking routes means easy access to numerous free campsites and sightseeing places.
For now, Estonia has in total 3 different routes to cross the country. You can also combine these routes if Estonia is your final destination and after visiting Estonia you are heading back either to Latvia or Finland. Each track has its own highlights. Eastern track aka The Original offers the most variety - pine forest hills in southeast, limestone cliff on northern coast, industrial quarries and abandoned military sites in northeast and curvy forest roads around Aegviidu.. Western track is rather different, but in no way boring. While the southwest part of the mainland is rather flat with a lot of gravel straits between swamps, islands are another story. Saaremaa island is rocky, with a lot of juniper trees and a very different atmosphere from the mainland. Hiiumaa is the second biggest island, but not at all similar to Saaremaa. Endless soft sandy tracks along the coastline mixed with abandoned military bases and historical lighthouses. And if you are in a hurry, it’s OK to pick the central route too. Although you will miss the spectacular nature of eastern Estonia or the chilled atmosphere of islands, you still have some challenges waiting for you.
EASTERN ROUTE:
Coming from Latvia, Southeast Estonia has nice curvy gravel roads through pine forest and hills (for a country where the maximum altitude is 318m - the highest in Baltics though!) . Visit Piusa caves (www.visitestonia.com/en/piusa-caves-visitor-centre?site_preference=normal) and Taevaskoja sandstone cliff - the hiking trail to the cliff goes through forest with some trees up to 40m high. Cross Emajogi river by human-powered barge at Kavastu. If you like, you can power it yourself! After that, visit old fishing villages at Peipsi Lake near Kallaste and buy some dried fish. Near Jogeva, visit Elistvere Animal Park to see some local wild animals.
After Jogeva, you head to the North-East part - an area very different to the rest of the country. Visit Peipsi Lake and take a swim in Europe's fourth largest lake. Roads in this area are more rocky because limestone is close to the surface. Many small forest roads are covered with rough crushed limestone from mines. And be careful, we also have many swamps here where riding gets muddy! Follow tracks to Viivikonna, a mostly abandoned mining village and get a feeling about life during soviet times.
You then reach the northern coastline close to Sillamäe, can visit the 30m high Valaste waterfall and enjoy up to 40m high limestone coastal cliffs.
Northeastern Estonia is also an important industrial area where you'll see our highest man-made mountains - made of spoil from the mines. Heading south from the coastline, the next challenge is the abandoned Aidu quarry. . It’s like a piece of Norway with rocky hills surrounded by fjords. Numerous hiking trails and even a full size rowing channel are waiting for tourists. Water is clean enough to drink. Don’t forget to visit a mining museum and compare your bike with a mining excavator bucket as well.
Next up is the old ash mountain in Kivioli, over 100m high and has an adventure park with different activities available. This is also a place where different motorcycle events take place including hill climbs and sidecar motocross European championships.
If you like to visit abandoned military sites, near Roela are remnants from a big soviet rocket base.
Between Tapa and Aegviidu the Russian army had an artillery ground for tanks and the air force which is now used by NATO forces. This has left an area of mostly untouched nature, but please observe and obey the information boards and closed barriers during military exercise - or you may be attacked by Abrams tanks or A-10 Thunderbolts! But when the gates are open, you can enjoy riding on nice sandy roads through the forest.
