Estonian Mining Museum \u2013 the Deepest Museum in Estonia<\/h1><p>The Estonian Mining Museum in Kohtla-N\u00f5mme is a special place, as its underground part is located at the depth of eight meters. When seeking the deepest experience in Estonia, keep in mind that the temperature in the mining shafts is eight degrees Celsius year-round. The best aids in defying the dampness, coolness and darkness are a miner\u2019s coat and the faith in returning to daylight sooner than later \u2013 in contrast to real miners, who spend their entire working day underground.<\/p><p>The museum\u2019s special features include former miner guides and operational machinery. The guides are also technicians keeping in order the drilling machines, loaders, and combines they set in motion during the tour. The powerful machinery remained in operation at the Kohtla mine until its closure in 2001.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ee803d7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"ee803d7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2501\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2501\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Read more<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2501\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2501\"><p>The visitors can ride a functional underground miner train.

In Estonia, the longest zipping through the air can be experienced at the Kivi\u00f5li Adventure Centre. The 600-metre descent begins from a tower built at the top of the man-made hill and the speeds can reach up to 80 km\/h. At the end, a braking system ensures smooth arrival. Therefore, it is both an adrenaline-imbued and safe opportunity to feel the taste of true freedom for 30 seconds.<\/p><p>At the core of the Kivi\u00f5li Adventure Centre is a 90-metre man-made hill. In addition to ziplining, the visitors can race down the hill by bicycles, tubes, and so-called mountain cars.

This shows just how important the oil industry was for the young state. The first oil tower still exists today.<br \/>Initially, oil shale was only used as solid fuel, but from 1920, emphasis was placed on the oil industry in the hope of adding value to the natural resource. A prototype of the oil refinery was developed in Germany; based on the knowledge gained through this, a pilot plant was built in Kohtla-J\u00e4rve in 1921.

The raw material produced could be used, for example, as fuel for ships and locomotives. Bitumen, a residue from the distillation of crude oil, was used as roofing tar; supplemented with mineral<br \/>substances, it could also be used for asphalting roads.<\/p><p>The key to further development of the oil industry was production of oil shale gasoline for the purpose of reducing Estonia\u2019s dependence on imported oil. Shale gasoline and shale oil were also successfully exported; the fuel oil was used in German warships, for example. Estonia\u2019s shale oil industry became profitable.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a812a16\" data-id=\"a812a16\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0b37ef0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-gallery\" data-id=\"0b37ef0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<div id='gallery-10' class='gallery galleryid-3000502 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a  href='https:\/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/AMK_toukerattamatk_Eestimaa-Ruhris_2_idaviru_visit_estonia_K_Ernits_loigatud.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3243\" height=\"2310\" src=\"https:\/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/AMK_toukerattamatk_Eestimaa-Ruhris_2_idaviru_visit_estonia_K_Ernits_loigatud.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b7c0905 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b7c0905\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c8bf86b\" data-id=\"c8bf86b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3028b49 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"3028b49\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7682568 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7682568\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5a5941c\" data-id=\"5a5941c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b5f2a13 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b5f2a13\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h1>6.

The academic name of Estonian oil shale, kukersite, derives from Kuckers, the German name for the Kukruse manor.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d3bc343\" data-id=\"d3bc343\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dad9a6e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-gallery\" data-id=\"dad9a6e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<div id='gallery-11' class='gallery galleryid-3000502 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a  href='https:\/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Polevkivi.png'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"391\" src=\"https:\/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Polevkivi.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-11-2173165\" srcset=\"\/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Polevkivi.png 600w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Polevkivi-300x196.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-11-2173165'>\n\t\t\t\tKohtla-J\u00e4rve P\u00f5lebkivi muuseum\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-63eac0d gallery-spacing-custom elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-gallery\" data-id=\"63eac0d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<div id='gallery-12' class='gallery galleryid-3000502 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a  href='https:\/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/258021-kohtla-jarve-museum-of-oil-shale-web-version-1920px.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/258021-kohtla-jarve-museum-of-oil-shale-web-version-1920px.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-12-2977873\" srcset=\"\/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/258021-kohtla-jarve-museum-of-oil-shale-web-version-1920px.jpg 1920w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/258021-kohtla-jarve-museum-of-oil-shale-web-version-1920px-300x200.jpg 300w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/258021-kohtla-jarve-museum-of-oil-shale-web-version-1920px-1024x683.jpg 1024w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/258021-kohtla-jarve-museum-of-oil-shale-web-version-1920px-768x512.jpg 768w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/258021-kohtla-jarve-museum-of-oil-shale-web-version-1920px-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/258021-kohtla-jarve-museum-of-oil-shale-web-version-1920px-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-12-2977873'>\n\t\t\t\tKohtla-J\u00e4rve P\u00f5levkivimuuseum.

Valaste Waterfall \u2013 the Highest Waterfall in Estonia<\/h1><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The data available on the exact height of the Valaste Waterfall vary. The height increases after downpours and decreases with landslides. Rounding the numbers, the wall of water is 30 metres high, which means that Valaste is four times higher as compared to J\u00e4gala Waterfall, the widest and perhaps best-known waterfall in Estonia. Unlike J\u00e4gala, however, the Valaste Waterfall is not a work of nature, but was created in the course of land improvement and<br \/>receives its water from the Kaasikv\u00e4lja drainage ditch (aka Valaste stream). The Valaste Waterfall roars down from the highest and most spectacular section of the Baltic Klint \u2013 right here at Ontika, the limestone cliff peaks at 55 metres above sea level.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7254edf elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"7254edf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1191\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1191\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Read more<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1191\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1191\"><p>The Valaste Waterfall is at its best during high water in spring, as well as in winter, when the waterfall and trees freeze. This happens at sub-zero temperatures, when the north wind blowing from the sea forms picturesque ice sculptures using splashes of water. In summer, you can admire the dense and lush cliff forest. Thus, at Valaste, one can end up in both in an ice world and a jungle.<\/p><p>For the best view of the stream and the forest growing below the high cliff, walk the Valaste hiking and study trail. From the stairs, you can also see a geological cross-section of layers formed over hundreds of millions of years \u2013 and the striped pattern is surprisingly colourful.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8e3f387\" data-id=\"8e3f387\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-34338c3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-gallery\" data-id=\"34338c3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<div id='gallery-13' class='gallery galleryid-3000502 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a  href='https:\/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/SvenZacek_Valaste_16_vahendatud-PS-1024x682-2.jpeg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/SvenZacek_Valaste_16_vahendatud-PS-1024x682-2.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Pankrannik \u00f5hust ja merepoolt vaadatuna, Valaste joa juures.\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-13-2639105\" srcset=\"\/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/SvenZacek_Valaste_16_vahendatud-PS-1024x682-2.jpeg 1024w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/SvenZacek_Valaste_16_vahendatud-PS-1024x682-2-300x200.jpeg 300w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/SvenZacek_Valaste_16_vahendatud-PS-1024x682-2-768x512.jpeg 768w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/SvenZacek_Valaste_16_vahendatud-PS-1024x682-2-600x400.jpeg 600w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/SvenZacek_Valaste_16_vahendatud-PS-1024x682-2-90x60.jpeg 90w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/SvenZacek_Valaste_16_vahendatud-PS-1024x682-2-135x90.jpeg 135w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-13-2639105'>\n\t\t\t\tPankrannik \u00f5hust ja merepoolt vaadatuna, Valaste joa juures.

For a rural church, it is unusually large, resembling more a monastery or bishop\u2019s church. It has been considered the largest single-nave church in the Baltic States and the only one in Estonia surrounded by a moat.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Equally unique are the vaulted crypts beneath the altar, similar to those in the abbeys of K\u00e4rkna and Padise. No other rural church in Estonia has such cellar rooms. Today, they form part of the Museum of the Fortified Church of J\u00f5hvi, which presents fascinating discoveries and stories \u2013 including the legend of two brothers, in which one, in a fit of rage, killed the other and, remorseful, built a church instead of a fortress.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-94b49cc elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"94b49cc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1551\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1551\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Read more<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1551\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1551\"><p>It is the only fortified church in Estonia once enclosed by a circuit wall and moat.

During the Livonian War it was besieged twice and, on February 3, 1558, captured and destroyed.\u00a0<\/p><p>The Church of St. Michael in J\u00f5hvi also made history in 1865 when it hosted the first song festival in Northern Estonia\u2013 the first regional song festival in the country. The J\u00f5hvi song festival was thus an important milestone on the road to the first nationwide song festival.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-53fbc81\" data-id=\"53fbc81\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ab9f69 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-gallery\" data-id=\"4ab9f69\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<div id='gallery-15' class='gallery galleryid-3000502 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a  href='https:\/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Johvi-Mihkli-kirik-talvel-ida-virumaa_Kristina-Ernits.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4080\" height=\"3060\" src=\"https:\/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Johvi-Mihkli-kirik-talvel-ida-virumaa_Kristina-Ernits.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f97087c gallery-spacing-custom elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-gallery\" data-id=\"f97087c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<div id='gallery-16' class='gallery galleryid-3000502 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a  href='https:\/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Johvi-Mihkli-kiriku-juures-rekorditahis-ida-virumaa_Kristina-Ernits.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4080\" height=\"3060\" src=\"https:\/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Johvi-Mihkli-kiriku-juures-rekorditahis-ida-virumaa_Kristina-Ernits.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a  href='https:\/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/johvi1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/johvi1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-16-2937762\" srcset=\"\/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/johvi1.jpg 1024w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/johvi1-300x200.jpg 300w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/johvi1-768x512.jpg 768w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/johvi1-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-16-2937762'>\n\t\t\t\tJehvi Sv.

The Sea Boulevard smoothly transitions into a coastal promenade where fountains, playgrounds and ball fields, an adventure trail, an observation tower, a pumptrack, and caf\u00e9s please the eye and provide possibilities for active leisure.<\/p><p>Near Sillam\u00e4e, another impressive set of stairs, this time of natural origin, accommodates the Langevoja Cascade. The spring-fed waterfall consists of two ledges; the canyon widens beneath the waterfall. After a three-hundred-metre drop, the stream runs into the S\u00f5tke River.

A castle from the times of the Order, a medieval city wall supplemented with roundels (round towers), and 16th and 17th century bastions, as well as ravelins (outer works) exist here side by side.

Under the leadership of Erik Dahlberg, a renowned Swedish military engineer and architect, six new bastions were constructed, all of which but one are still there. It is the best-preserved bastion system from that period in Estonia.\u00a0<\/p><p>The former fortifications have now become a tourist attraction important for the border town. There is a museum with a fascinating exhibition in the Narva Castle. The mightiest bastion, Victoria, is also open to visitors. In its casemates (tunnel-like vaults) and the gunpowder cellar, you can learn about the history of Narva\u2019s defense system.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-de4c74c\" data-id=\"de4c74c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a370b8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-gallery\" data-id=\"4a370b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<div id='gallery-22' class='gallery galleryid-3000502 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a  href='https:\/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Narva-_linnus_SvenZacek_12.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"911\" src=\"https:\/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Narva-_linnus_SvenZacek_12.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Narva linnus \u00f5htup\u00e4ikeses kaugemalt vaade\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-22-2921173\" srcset=\"\/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Narva-_linnus_SvenZacek_12.jpg 1920w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Narva-_linnus_SvenZacek_12-300x142.jpg 300w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Narva-_linnus_SvenZacek_12-1024x486.jpg 1024w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Narva-_linnus_SvenZacek_12-768x364.jpg 768w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Narva-_linnus_SvenZacek_12-1536x729.jpg 1536w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Narva-_linnus_SvenZacek_12-600x285.jpg 600w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Narva-_linnus_SvenZacek_12-126x60.jpg 126w, \/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Narva-_linnus_SvenZacek_12-190x90.jpg 190w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-22-2921173'>\n\t\t\t\tNarva Linnus p\u00e4ikeseloojangus.

Kreenholm Manufactory \u2013 Europe\u2019s Largest Industrial Complex in the 19th Century<\/h1><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Founded on an island in the Narva River in 1857, the Kreenholm Manufacturing Company consisted of five mills by the end of the century and was among the largest, if not the largest, of its kind in Europe. Before World War I, the worker count reached 10,000 and the company had grown into one of the largest textile companies in the world.<br \/>Unlike today, the look of industrial buildings was considered important when Kreenholm was constructed. Because of this, the architecture of the former textile giant is still stunning. The vast scale of Kreenholm attracts filmmakers from near and far, even from Hollywood. Organisers of major events, such as the Narva Opera Days, have discovered the courtyard and pillared hall of the old spinning mill.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e05782 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"4e05782\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-8181\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-8181\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Read more<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-8181\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-8181\"><p>At present, the closed industrial area is only accessible during events or with tours arranged by the Narva Museum.

According to the latest measurements, the area of the artificial water body is 110km\u00b2, one-sixth of which belongs to Estonia.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b8a8b9e elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"b8a8b9e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1931\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1931\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Read more<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1931\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1931\"><p>There is a system of canals along the Narva Reservoir lined with endless rows of boathouses known as the Narva Venice. In the Soviet times, building a summer home between the canals seemed a good idea. Back then, the Russian side was also accessible by boat for fishing or picking berries and mushrooms. Even now, the some tens of square kilometres currently belonging to Estonia offer ample opportunities for active leisure.<\/p><p>The boathouses boasting unique architecture are more than just shelters for storing a boat \u2013 they are used for living, fishing, gardening, sauna, BBQ, and parties. The aquatic lifestyle of the Narva Venice fascinates tourists and creative people alike. The summer project Narva Venice Embassy, which has become a tradition f the Narva Art Residency, invites artists to live and<br \/>create their works in the region.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50

Narva River \u2013 the River with the Most Islands in Estonia<\/h1><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Besides serving as a natural border between Estonia and Russia, the Narva River is known for its mighty discharge and multiple islands. In total, there are 120 islands of various size in the Narva River and Reservoir, although many of these are temporary sediment deposits. There are some ten larger islands in the river, the largest of these being the Permisk\u00fcla Island, which has even been confirmed as a habitat of the rare flying squirrel. There are no people living on the islands of the Narva River, but in the 19th century, a huge textile factory was founded on the Kreenholm Island.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-02aafba elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"02aafba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2791\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2791\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Read more<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2791\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2791\"><p>The Narva River is the largest in Estonia by several hydrological characteristics. For example, its discharge is unrivalled, leaving the Emaj\u00f5gi and P\u00e4rnu rivers far behind. There is also a two-tiered waterfall on the Narva River, which was once the largest in Estonia, at least in terms of water power. However, after the construction of the hydroelectric power plant in 1955, the Narva falls have been dry. Only occasionally in spring is excess water<br \/>released down the old riverbed by Russia and those interested can enjoy the roar of the waterfalls. In summer, the ferry Caroline commutes between Narva and Narva-J\u00f5esuu, offering its passengers gorgeous views of the magical Narva River.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50

Thus, manmade witch\u2019s wells have developed into an attraction nique for the Ida-Viru County.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-36b8231\" data-id=\"36b8231\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b0e6ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-gallery\" data-id=\"9b0e6ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<div id='gallery-30' class='gallery galleryid-3000502 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a  href='https:\/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Kolme-noia-kaev_Hannes-Arus-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Kolme-noia-kaev_Hannes-Arus-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Kolme n\u00f5ia kaev Kosel\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c7e596 gallery-spacing-custom elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-gallery\" data-id=\"1c7e596\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<div id='gallery-31' class='gallery galleryid-3000502 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a  href='https:\/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Kolme-noia-kaev-foto-Alutaguse-Matkaklubi.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" src=\"https:\/\/idaviru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Kolme-noia-kaev-foto-Alutaguse-Matkaklubi.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b8179ca elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b8179ca\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e2bccfc\" data-id=\"e2bccfc\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e5bf6c elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"3e5bf6c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b3b445b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b3b445b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6d233f2\" data-id=\"6d233f2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ec39666 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ec39666\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h1>18. Vasknarva Groins and Dam \u2013 Estonia\u2019s Largest Inland Hydraulic Structures<\/h1><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Narva River has its source near the village of Vasknarva located at the north-eastern end of Lake Peipus. In the past, sediments from the lake brought in by the prevailing westerly winds and the river often blocked the source. Because of this, the so-called fifth season (or high water season) similar to that in Soomaa once existed here. Vasknarva suffered a massive flood in 1924, for example.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-447e84b elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"447e84b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-7181\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-7181\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Read more<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-7181\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-7181\"><p>The fifth season became a thing of the past in the 1930s, when the Estonian state commissioned a unique system of hydraulic structures at the source of the Narva River. Four groins (in other words, transverse dykes) were built on the west bank of the river, plus a dam diverting the flow on the east bank. The transverse dykes narrowed the Narva River, accelerating its flow and collecting the sediments between them.<\/p><p>The best view of these huge inland hydraulic structures<br \/>opens from the northernmost groin. You can get there from behind the Vasknarva Orthodox Church. Walking to the end of the groin, you may well feel as if you are about to reach the end of the world. The Church marks the beginning of the Vasknarva village, which is also known for the ruins of an order stronghold and a developing harbour. The longest sandy beach in Estonia<br \/>starts here. A new observation tower located next to one of the groins offers an excellent view of the lake, the river, and the migratory birds stopping here.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50
