Cycling on your own on the onion route

from Alatskivi to Nina village - it is nice to cycle on the Onion route!

Light breeze from the Lake Peipus tousles your hair, the smell of air-drying onions trails you and you'll see that the locals waving at you cheerfully choose the same means of transportation to run their daily errands..

The 25-kilometre route starts from Alatskivi and on the route you will see all three cultures of the Onion Route. Read more about the places to discover on the journey on the Onion Route homepage - SIBULATEE

Good to know: to get the best experience possible, we recommend checking whether the places you want to visit are open during the period you are planning to take your trip.

Start: Peipsiääre vald
Finish: Peipsiääre vald
Distance: 25.0 km
