Overview

Visit an abandoned naval fortress which is now tucked away in the forest, where it is still possible to explore the dark underground tunnels and walk past concrete structures. Continue the tour to Keila waterfall in a peaceful manor park with charming bridges and walking paths. Drive through the Russian-speaking city of Paldiski and get a feel of its industrial Soviet-era neighborhoods. Take a break at a local cafe where you can order Estonian food for lunch.

Continue the tour to Pakri coastal cliffs and see the red lighthouse looking over the vast Baltic Sea. As the last stop on the tour, drive to Rummu submerged quarry, climb up the sandy hills for a view over the entire crystal clear lake and the submerged houses.
