On Saturday, September 28, 35 Estonian rural municipalities from Hiiumaa to Setomaa and from Alutaguse to Häädemeeste will open their doors for visitors.

On this day, you will be welcomed by kindergartens, schools, health, cultural and sports centres, community houses and local enterprises – places that shape the living environment in the countryside.
