INTRODUCTION The guide Liis Lainemäe has been developing and marketing the area for almost 12 years, starting with the birth of the Onion Road. She knows the joys and sorrows of all the service providers and tells the stories about the area, about sights and folk-art objects along the way. The programme includes visits to Russian Old Believers communities along the Kolkja– Kasepää–Varnja road, which runs through the villages by Lake Peipsi. The location is 40 km from Tartu, the second largest city in Estonia. Guests will visit local people, see local life, get to know the different cultures and, especially, the most important role played by local food. Every place visited will offer a taste of some local specialty.
