GIS Training Week (1-5 year) in Vihula
2023-04-11 16:00 - 2023-04-16 11:00 (Europe/Copenhagen) | Vihula Manor, Vihula Küla Haljala Vald, Vihula, 45402, Estland, Vihula, 45402, Estonia
Again this year, we will all meet in Vihula, Estonia, for an exciting and intensive week of learning and growing.
Vihula Manor Country Club is located in northern Estonia, on the coast of the Baltic Sea, just 90 km from the capital city Tallinn, an hour of scenic drive through picturesque countryside and ancient forests. The lovely manor complex is idyllically situated in the North-Eastern corner of the beautiful Lahemaa National Park, with sandy beaches, enormous erratic boulders, mossy pine forests, majestic wetlands, and the ancient fishermen villages of Altja and Käsmu. One of the main Lahemaa attractions is undoubtedly the manors – the baroque Sagadi Manor, Estonia’s most well-known Palmsee Manor and picturesque Vihula Manor.
From Vihula Manor all major attractions are within easy reach: 3 km to a secluded sandy beach at the Baltic sea, 5 km to the historical Altja fishing village, offering a glimpse into the life of coastal people in the past and today, 6 km to Sagadi Manor, 14 km to Palmsee Manor, 20 km to “Captains Village” of Käsmu with a unique maritime museum, 25 km to the regional capital Rakvere.

All the seminars at our education usually starts Tuesday evening and last to Sunday after lunch. Location is mostly at Hegnegaarden, a farm at Orø in Denmark. The farm is beautifully surrounded by fields, close to the water and has its own very special atmosphere.
Lunch break
In the middle of the day you have a long lunch break (3 hours) where you will have the possibility of
enjoying the nature. There is a small beach approximately 2 km from the farm so in summertime it is
possible to go swimming and at all times of year you can go for beautiful walks.
Packing
It is a very good idea to pack your bags according to time of year and the weather forecast since we do
morning awareness every morning outside. Also, the last evening at the seminar we usually have a party.
Accommodation
Accommodation will be in double rooms. Showers/toilets are in the hallway. During the seminar there will be some small practical assignments like preparing and cleaning after lunch and dinner and emptying the dishwasher.
The students’ stay at the farm is informal and relaxed – good surroundings for development, presence and being together.
