Saatse

Saatse (Seto: Satserina) is a village in Setomaa Parish, Võru County in southeastern Estonia.

[1] Saatse and its neighbouring villages (Kundruse, Litvina, Pattina, Perdaku, Saabolda, Samarina, Sesniki and Ulitina) are notable as part of Estonia that although not an enclave, before 2008 wasn't reachable by road without passing through Russian territory for several hundred metres, through an area known as the Saatse Boot.

In 2008 a new Matsuri–Sesniki road was opened, making it possible to reach the area without necessarily passing through the Saatse Boot.

[2] The museum is a subsidiary of the Seto Talumuuseum (Seto Farm Museum) at Värska, was founded in 1974, and has 20,000 exhibits including collections of agricultural implements and machinery, fishing equipment, and pottery.

[3] The oldest buildings in the village are the Holy Paraskeva Orthodox Church.
