Good Morning from Tallinn
We're beginning a road trip adventure now
Visit Estonia loaned us this car
And Visit Estonia has also arranged us activities in Ida-Virumaa, East Estonia
We're going to try out different activities in East Estonia during the next three days
Let's see what we'll find
Let's go
We've arived here at Kiviõli Adventure Park
Next we're trying out the longest zip-line in Estonia
And that's just great for someone like me who's afraid of heights
This is in the same category with when we descended a lighthouse with ropes
What I mean is that this is propably awesome after the activity, not so much before or during
There is one place in the middle, with the ski slope
You will touch the grass but it won't hurt you
Oh sh**t!
They begun oil shale mining here 100 years ago
And during the mining process a huge ash hill was formed here
It was a problem for this place
Ugly and bad for the environment
Until one winter a few young snowboarders decided to try snowboarding on the ash hill
It turned out to be an awesome idea
That's when the idea of a ski center was born
This ski center was opened in 2013
These days you can try different activities here also during the summer
Like the zip-line we just tried
We're spending the night at Saka Manor
This manor was abandoned here by the soviet army in the 90's and left to decay
But it has been renovated since then
In this area you can also see a part of the road that used to lead from St. Petersburg to Tallinn
And from there to Europe
Even Catherine the Great has used the road back in the days
Good Morning from Saka Manor in Ida-Virumaa
Saka Manor is located on a beautiful spot on Saka cliff
The beach here is definitely worth seeing
Just amazing
Also the restaurant here where we ate yesterday evening was just perfect
It was the best meal we've had in Estonia
So delicious
Now we're continuing our tour in Ida-Virumaa
Let's see what we'll find today
We've arrived to Mining Museum
I just heard that "today we're doing the safari by a small car" and I thought it was a joke
But this is actually the smallest one of the cars they have here
They also have huge cars here that can fit about 20 people
And now we're going on a safari with this "small" car
We're going around an open-cast mine with a jeep
This area is about 20 square kilometers in size
Like our guide said: you can see the future over there
Wind turbines
When finished, they'll rise up to 130 meters and they'll be the tallest wind turbines in whole of Europe
The Mining Museum and the safari at the open-cast mine was amazing
This is the first time I've seen something like this with my own eyes
This place is definitely worth visiting
It's only less than two hours from Tallinn by car
It was definitely worth coming here
Is the summer still there on 1st of September like it is today?
The summer was still there if it ever had arrived to Finland in the first place
But this is the best vanilla ice cream I've had in a long time
Creamy ice cream with real vanilla
We came to have dinner here at Avinurme Puiduait (woodcraft center)
Here we have potatos and fish
Delicious beetrood salad
And coffee and tea
And gorgeous woodcraft behind you
We did a bit of shopping
Very nice looking woodcraft with a good price
We've now done sightseeing here in Ida-Virumaa for two days
This Saka Manor here has been a great base for sightseeing here
We've seen amazing tourist spots here
We're now continuing our tour here in Ida-Virumaa
But more of it on our next video
