Discover Kadrina: Sports, Trails and Culture

Those who want to combine active days with culture and regional history will find various points of interest in Kadrina. The Kadrina terviserada includes artificial-snow tracks measuring 2.4 km, 1.7 km and 1 km. They are used year-round for exercise and in winter for skiing. This allows the stay to be tailored differently according to the season and personal interests, without any single leisure activity defining the destination.

Activities around the Kadrina terviserada

The Kadrina terviserada also includes a low ropes course, a bike park with jumps and a pump track, a floodlit sledding hill and an ice rink. Those who want to try different activities can take these options into account when planning their day. Travellers who prefer to move at a leisurely pace can use the Kadrina Paisjärve kergliiklustee for Nordic walking, fitness walking and walking. The Kadrina Paisjärve rannavõrkpalliplats is intended for beach volleyball and adds another sporting option to the selection.

The Kadrina Spordikeskus also offers several clearly distinct areas: its facilities include a sports hall, an indoor swimming pool, a gym, a wrestling room, a shooting range and a table tennis hall. When looking for accommodation in Kadrina, you can therefore decide whether outdoor exercise, organised sport or a visit to individual facilities should be the focus of your trip. The specific use or availability of each facility should be checked in advance.

Historic Buildings and Sacred Art

A notable historical detail is Kadrina railway station’s second station building. It was built in 1898 according to the same standard design as the buildings in Auvere, Kehra, Kohtla and Lehtse. Unlike those buildings, it was constructed of wood and decorated with rich wood carvings. Those interested in regional architectural history can gain a concrete insight here into different versions of a shared design.

Kadrina Katariina kirik is a sacred building constructed in the 15th century. It contains an almost life-size crucifix made of ash wood, with a figure of Christ, which was brought from Germany in 1490. The church’s current organ was purchased in Saint Petersburg in 1895. The thick walls and vaulted rooms suggest that the church also had a defensive function. Organ music can be heard there by prior arrangement.

Seasonal opening hours apply to church visits: from 1 June to 31 August, Kadrina Katariina kirik is accessible daily from 10:00 to 18:00; from 1 September to 31 May, it is open by arrangement. This restriction should be taken into account when planning a trip, especially if visiting the architecture, crucifix or organ is to be a fixed part of the stay.

Sauna and Practical Information

The Kadrina külasauna, dating from 1957, is part of the local everyday and bathing culture. On Sundays, it offers separate sauna times: women from 14:00 to 18:00 and men from 18:30 to 22:00. Those who want to plan a visit should take the day of the week and the appropriate time into account.
