Discover Saue: Park, Culture and Trails

Saue combines historical impressions with opportunities for exercise and shared experiences. Anyone planning a trip and looking for a holiday apartment or holiday house in Saue can get to know the place from three very different perspectives: Saue Manor and its park, the Saue Sarapiku health trail, and folk culture events and local café days.

Saue Manor and the Park

Saue Manor is a restored Baroque manor house and also an example of Estonia’s early Classical architecture. This makes it a specific cultural destination for travellers interested not only in the landscape but also in architectural history. The large park at Saue Manor was laid out in 1792. The park and manor house therefore offer a quieter, culture-oriented perspective on Saue, which can be clearly distinguished from a day spent on sporting activities.

For trip planning, this combination means that if you value architecture and historic grounds, you can mark Saue Manor as a separate focus. The park complements this focus with the character of an expansive outdoor area, without implying any particular visiting itinerary.

The Saue Sarapiku health trail

Another side of the place is revealed by the Saue Sarapiku health trail in Saue’s oak grove. The trail is 1.3 kilometres long and fully lit. It was designed for walkers, runners and cyclists. An outdoor fitness area is located beside the trail. In winter, the Saue Sarapiku health trail becomes a cross-country skiing track.

These details can help you choose your preferred travel rhythm: you can view Saue as a destination with a short trail for exercise and an additional cultural focus. Those travelling with people who have different interests will find various themes here that can be considered separately in the daily itinerary. The length of the trail provides a clear point of reference; it does not specify a walking time or difficulty level.

Folk Culture and Special Days

Saue Sõlg is an annual folk culture event. It began in 1992 and has had its current name since 2005. Folk musicians, folk dancers, choir singers and orchestras from across Saue Parish come together for the event. Traditionally, Saue Sõlg begins at 11 a.m. with a procession from Saue Town Hall through the streets of Saue to Saue jaanituleplats.

The Saue café day also has its own distinctive character: private home cafés open their doors to visitors. The Saue café day has been held for years together with the anniversary of the town of Saue.
