Autumn

Autumn also offers opportunities for berry picking and mushrooming, because mushrooming season continues. Now boletus mushrooms, gypsy mushrooms, and milkcaps are ready for picking. One can extend the swimming season at the Värska waterpark and get ready for winter in the mud and mineral water baths. In October, it pays to visit Setomaa during the week of culture, because really exciting cultural events take place this week, and one can see people in folk costume more frequently than usual. An important autumn event is the traditional Lindora fair, which is held on the border of Setomaa and Võrumaa.
