Discover Kolodavitsa near Koplioru

Kolodavitsa reveals its character not through a densely built-up centre, but through a winding village road, set-back farmsteads and the open landscape of Koplioru. The village road follows the terrain and opens up views of Koplioru. Those looking for a holiday apartment or holiday house in Kolodavitsa can plan a stay here in which village history, landscape and hiking are closely connected with experiencing the place.

A linear village with its own history

Kolodavitsa is a linear village: the farmsteads are set back from the village road. At the beginnings of the access roads to almost all the farmsteads, there are predominantly uniformly designed signs bearing the names of the farmsteads. This design makes the settlement pattern particularly clear when driving through or exploring the area, without the village losing its rural structure.

The history of the village includes the merger of its two former parts in 1977. Kolodavitsa is also a long-established village on the eastern border of Livonia. In Suure-Kolodavitsa, there was a brickworks on land leased by Alfred Saul. Those interested in regional history and the development of rural settlements will therefore find several specific points of reference for planning their trip.

Landscape by Koplioru and trails in the surrounding area

The area around Kolodavitsa lies in Koplioru. The varied terrain and open village landscape are structured by groups of pine and birch trees. Depending on the focus of the day, you can therefore place the village road and its views at the centre of your visit or combine a longer stay with a hike. For those travelling together, this combination offers the opportunity to give different weight to exploring the village and spending time in the landscape.

The Kolodavitsa–Värska section is the 20th section of the Metsa Hiking Trail. When hiking this section, paper maps, orientation points and information boards were used for navigation. Those wishing to include the section in their plans can take these forms of navigation and their own schedule for the day into account before setting out.

Another notable destination is the Piiroja railway underpass. It is located near Kasteheina in the village of Kolodavitsa and was built in 1930. Together with the village road, the farmstead signs and the view of Koplioru, this creates a stay that is not focused on just one attraction, but combines various ways of exploring the area.
