Pajusti

• The Vinni-Pajusti Landscape Protection Area covers 93.2 hectares and was established in 1958.
• The health trails run through the landscape protection area; their starting point is by Vinni-Pajusti Upper Secondary School.
• A steam engine monument commemorates the history of agriculture.
• Pajusti offers group workshops on wool and knitting, as well as a manufacturer of porcelain goods.

The Vinni-Pajusti Landscape Protection Area also includes the Vinni-Pajusti nature area. When planning projects, their impact on the nature area's conservation objectives must be assessed. The specific requirements that apply to Natura 2000 sites must also be taken into account. Protection and the consideration of potential projects are therefore an explicit part of this area's character.

The health trails run through the landscape protection area. Nature enthusiasts can therefore also explore Pajusti with its protected landscape and nature in mind. If you would like to compare different area profiles, you can also find an overview of Vinni.

The starting point of the Vinni-Pajusti Oak Grove Health Trails is by Vinni-Pajusti Upper Secondary School. The trails are therefore a clearly identified place to visit within the area. Cycling is offered as an activity on the trails in summer. If you are choosing when to travel with this activity in mind, summer is the stated season.

The trails and the landscape protection area are explicitly linked: the trails run through the area. No further details about route length or course are available here; for planning your trip, the connection between health trails, oak grove and protected nature is therefore the main theme to consider.

The steam engine monument in Pajusti commemorates the history of agriculture. Its boiler was brought to the Pajusti fur farm in 1955 and used there as a power unit for 15 years. These details give the monument a specific historical connection: the boiler was not simply installed as a monument, but had previously been used as a power unit for an extended period.

Oak groves are also among the area's stated themes, though in different contexts. A literary oak grove is located around the Pajusti Club. Lõnga-Liisu Handicraft is on the edge of an old oak grove. Each offers its own connection for those interested in culture and nature, but they do not form a single walking route.

Lõnga-Liisu Handicraft holds group workshops where participants can card wool, try spinning and knit on a modern machine. The activities cover several different stages and forms of textile work: from preparing wool to trying spinning and knitting with a machine. Those particularly interested in textile crafts will find a specific connection to Pajusti here.

Eepo Eesti Portselan makes cups, plates, bowls and pots. This complements textile work with functional ceramics. Pajusti can thus also be explored through its different kinds of handcrafted products: textile techniques on the one hand and everyday porcelain goods on the other.
