Barge boat trips

From Hanseatic times right up until the beginning of the 20th century, a very specific type of merchant barge called 'lodi' was a common sight on the Emajõgi River. Since 2005, a group of enthusiasts has been recreating these barges as well as an exact replica of Viking ship and various other traditional, water-faring vessels, which can be seen at the barge museum on Ujula street. They offer sailing trips down the Emajõgi and into Lake Peipus, which take place aboard these vessels of yore.
