Those choosing Kauda for a stay can plan around different needs: should the focus be on a group event or on regional cultural and nature experiences? In the municipality, Kivi Puhkemajad provides specific information about rooms and accommodation options. In the wider region, a trail near Alatskivi and a museum in Kolkja add to the choice.

Kivi Puhkemajad for Groups and Overnight Stays

For meetings and celebrations in the municipality, Kivi Puhkemajad is an option as a venue. The smaller hall accommodates up to 30 people and is suitable for workshops, meetings and smaller team gatherings. The Suur peomaja offers space for larger celebrations, accommodating up to 90–100 people. The venue can be used for everything from seminars and corporate events to weddings, birthdays and other celebrations. You can first choose according to the occasion and group size, then consider the room layout that best fits.

At Kivi Puhkemajad, you can book a celebration house or the entire complex. The complex has a total of 50 beds, including six camping cabins available during the summer season. A 100-inch LCD screen, a sound system and a wireless microphone are available for seminars and other events. The complex also has a sauna and hot tubs. If the number of beds, seasonal cabins or facilities are important to your plans, confirm these details and availability in advance.

The buildings also give the venue a distinctive architectural character: they have historic stone walls, and their architecture is described as unique. For a group meeting or celebration, this architectural setting can be a factor in your decision alongside the size of the room. The different details answer different questions: hall capacities help you plan the occasion, the number of beds helps with accommodation, and the facilities help with organizing an event.

A Trail and a Museum in the Wider Region

For those who want to spend time outdoors, the 4.5 km Alatskivi matkarada is located in the wider region. It runs near Alatskivi Castle, around Lossijärv. Varied terrain, several sights and diverse wildlife characterize the route. Its length gives you a concrete basis for choosing a trail; the route also brings together scenery and a range of interests. This offers a different focus from a stay planned primarily around a group event.

The Kolkja vanausuliste muuseum in Kolkja adds a cultural dimension, also in the wider region. It displays traditional household items, clothing and handicrafts of Russian Old Believers. The museum focuses on everyday objects and crafts, while the trail near Alatskivi highlights scenery, sights and wildlife. When choosing an excursion, you can therefore follow your preferred theme: cultural history or an outdoor trail.

Kauda and the wider municipal and regional area thus offer a range of options for planning: Kivi Puhkemajad is an option for group spaces and overnight stays; Alatskivi and Kolkja offer different nature and culture themes. First consider which occasion, group size and type of excursion matter most for your stay.
