Visit Estonia recommends the eastern route along Lake Peipsi. It joins the Onion Route, Sibulatee, and runs through Old Believer villages: from Mustvee through Kallaste to Kolkja, Kasepää and Varnja, each village looking different, and on to Alatskivi castle.
Stop at the prayer houses, the Old Believer museum in Kolkja and the onion farm where they bake onion pies. You can swim at the beaches in Kallaste and Kolkja. Kallaste has the only cash machine in the whole district.
The shore road is narrow, shared with cars and cyclists. Between the villages there is gravel, and the road to the village of Nina is not paved.
