Posters on bus shelters proclaim: "The nation-wide opening event of Estonia's centenary is on April 16, 2017. The celebrations will kick off with a huge public hike in 18 different sections along the former border between the Eestimaa kubermang (Governorate of Estonia, in the north) and the Liivimaa kubermang (Governorate of Livonia, what is now southern Estonia and extending into what is now Latvia). Estonia's current territory was divided as such from the 16th century until 100 years ago this past week. Hiking en masse and symbolically erasing this border will bring out the contour of "Our land", as the first stage of the Estonia 100 celebrations has been named."
