The idea to go to the „Snow Desert“ aka to the ice-covered lake Peipsi came when I was planning to come back to Estonia for the Estonian Independence Day on February 24. I wanted to celebrate it with some slacklining and winter swimming in the Anne canal in Tartu. Unfortunately, two events coincided so I had to celebrate our Republic’s birthday at a Highlining Carnival in Turkey. I arrived back to Estonia at the beginning of March and as I saw the ongoing enchanting winter decided to take the maximum out of it and still enjoy the charms of nature.
