ARCHITECTURE OF WAR. TRIP ON THE TRACES OF PETER THE GREAT´S NAVAL FORTRESS
Sunday, 28.04.2013

The surroundings of Tallinn are filled with traces of vast defense system that was never completed and never used for its initial purpose. These pieces of unique military history are now in the backyards of local residents, flooded by water and in the depths of forests. On this trip we will explore some of the positions of Peter the Great´s Naval Fortress in Suurupi, Humala and Kiia. Be prepared to stroll in the bunkers, climb the tracks of this once grand defense system, similar to the Maginot Line in France.

Our guide on the tour will be Peeter Nork from the Estonian Heritage Board and Deiw Rahumägi from the NGO Nelja Valla Kogu.

The language on the trip will be English.

Journey: Tallinn-Suurupi-Humala-Kiia-Tallinn

If possible, please take along flashlights and wear water-proof footwear. Weather can be fickle. Be prepared to walk to some sights.
The trip starts at 10 am from Balti jaam (the train station), the bus will be waiting for us on the parking lot next to Shnelli park, in the beginning of Nunne street.

The fee, 20 Euros, that includes the bus, a bowl of soup and some snacks, needs to be paid beforehand, so that we can take this into account when reserving the bus.
