Teekonnad

Teekonnad is an Estonian term meaning "paths" or "journeys." In common usage, it is a flexible label applied to multiple kinds of routes, itineraries, or narrative arcs rather than a single fixed entity.

In Estonian, teekond means journey; teekonnad is the plural. The term appears across everyday language, tourism, and cultural contexts as a general label for routes, experiences, or stages of life.

In tourism and outdoor recreation, teekonnad refer to curated travel routes—often for hiking or cycling. They are defined by distance, terrain, estimated time, difficulty, and points of interest, and are published by municipalities, parks, or tourism boards.

In culture and education, teekonnad are used as metaphors for personal development or learning paths. They may appear as themes in literature, exhibitions, or community projects that explore regional history, migration, or nature.

Because teekonnad is a broad, generic label, there is no single canonical version. The term highlights both physical routes and narrative journeys, reflecting Estonia's landscape and its storytelling traditions.
