In the ancient times, when Reval was not yet on the world map and Pärnu was still a small harbour village, the powerful and wealthy Soontaga fort-hill ruled in Lääne County.
"Swamp Ship" is a fantasy about the destiny of the descendants of the famous elders of Soontagana in the 21st century.
You have to walk 1.6 kilometres to get to the castle hill; best to arrive already at 18.00.
After the production wise men argue over the course of history. Topics: Ancient fight for freedom, ancient Soontagana, accepting Christianity in Estonia, etc.
Bonfire evening with runic songs and folk music.
It is possible to spend the night in tents, because early in the morning at 3.30, we hike into the moor to see the sunrise.
