While the onion gardens are covered in snow and the men are ice-fishing on the lake, the women spend their time in the Peipsimaa Visitor Centre sitting on lešankas, embroidering and knitting.

Many beautiful and handy items are prepared during the long winter. The shop in the Visitor Centre is as exciting as life itself!

The Peipsimaa Visitor Centre's handicraft shop is the place to go to when you are looking for items inspired by the traditional handicraft of the Old Believers, such as hand-painted galoshes, felted slippers, ceramic oven pots, doilies, towels, pillows and bags. You can also find icons, books and music CDs of the Russian Old Believers.

If you are looking for good onions and garlic or the herbal tea mixtures and sugar of the one-street villages, then this you shall also find!
