In addition to intangible, material and natural values, they also contain historical, archaeological, religious as well as folklore, ethnological and environmental values. We can argue that natural sanctuaries and related discourse (s) are one of the most interesting ways and means of understanding the religious worldview of the culture and people around us, and that natural sanctuaries become an integral part of human oral and written history. In the article, I give an overview of the discourse related to natural sanctuaries as traditional monuments in Estonia in the 21st century.

The Russian Starovery subsisted mainly on fishing the lakes of Peipsi, Võrtsjärv, Viljandi, and Ladoga, as well as the Gulf of Riga. Besides, they grew chicory, cucumbers, and onions on their small garden plots and worked as masons in Estonian towns and rural areas. During the Soviet era, the Old Believers sold most of their home-grown vegetables to Russia, mainly Leningrad (Petersburg). After Estonia regained independence, the Union of the Estonian Old Believers’ Congregations was also restored in 1995, and in the new economic situation the Old Believers began to look for new ways of earning a living. In addition to road-villages, museums of local history, and chapels, the fish and onion restaurant opened at Kolkja in 1999 has become a central attraction for tourists, allowing them to get acquainted with the Old Belie...
