Haabjakoda — Dugout Canoe Centre

Haabjakoda is a heritage centre in Tori small borough on the Pärnu River that introduces the building and use of the dugout canoe, or haabjas. Housed in the historic fire brigade society building, the exhibition explores the links between dugout culture, the Soomaa cultural space, the Pärnu River basin and UNESCO intangible cultural heritage. A visit introduces the boatbuilding tradition and its continuation today; group programmes, workshops and dugout trips on the Tori river can be arranged separately. In autumn, winter and spring, visits take place by prior arrangement.
