The two dates offer a concrete perspective on the area’s history: Korkuna has been known as a farmstead since the late 17th century and as a village since the 20th century. This gives you a tangible rural connection when choosing a destination, if you want to consider a place not only for its location but also for its historical context. A farmstead and a village represent different forms of settlement and different points in time. Korkuna’s history can therefore be understood through two clearly defined historical reference points.

The settlement group of Korkuna is situated on the slope of a large hill. The Kima oja stream has its source in Korkuna and is connected with the Koiva-Mustjõe Landscape Conservation Area. These two features complement one another but describe different things: the hillside locates the settlement group, while the stream indicates the area’s waterways and its connection to the conservation area. For an initial sense of the landscape, you can therefore orient yourself in Korkuna by both the settlement’s location and the stream.
