Old Believers, who fled persecution from the Russian Orthodox church because of their refusal to adapt to church reforms, settled down on the western shore of Lake Peipsi in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Their traditional one-street villages can be seen along the lakeshore where Kasepää, Tiheda, Kükita and Raja villages together extend for an almost continuous 8 km. It is one of the few places in Estonia today with such a concentration of Old Believers. The villages featuring prayer houses and homesteads in a distinctly different architectural and life style are a true wonder.

Маршрут предусмотрен для путешественников, которых привлекает большой и частый перепад рельефа, а также для тех, кто жаждет увидеть и на себе испытать впечатляющие берега глубокой древней долины Аматы, передвигаясь по мало тронутым лесным тропам. Тропа, проложенная на правом берегу реки, петляет как по нижней, так и по верхней части долины, поэтому местами необходимо преодолевать перепад высоты более чем 40 метров.
Это можно считать своего рода геотуристическим маршрутом, так как он знакомит с обнажениями доломита и песчаника девонского периода. Маршрут проходит по национальному парку «Гауя». Ночевать можно в палатках или местах туристического  ночлега.
