Latvian Valka and Estonian Valga are twin towns, separated by the Estonian/Latvian border but using the slogan "One Town, Two Countries".
The border dividing the Livonian town of Walk was marked out in 1920 by an international jury headed by British Colonel Stephen George Tallents. With the expansion of the Schengen Agreement and abolition of the Estonian/Latvian border in 2007, all border crossing-points were removed and roads and fences opened.

We are going to visit this unique area, checking out their three museums, see the natural beauties the towns have to offer, and eat at one or more of their excellent restaurants and coffees.

There are plenty of buses back to Riga and we will return taking the one that is the most suitable.
IMPORTANT: buy your ticket for the 7.30 am Lux Express Bus from Riga.
The bus leaves at 7.30 from Riga Couch Station and therefore we are meeting a bit before the departure. The coach ride is about 2 and a half hours, with the bus arriving to the Valga Railway Station in Estonia.

The event on our end is free of charge (i.e. our work with organising it), and each participant is to buy their bus ticket, food etc..
