Forest walk

Good morning readers and bloggers! The spring is in full force here, greenery is showing more and more signs of itself and the weather is just calling for you to go outside.

Last weekend was just such a day, so our group grabbed some picnic gear and headed out of the city, with the goal of spending some great outdoors time. Anything with forests, water, old buildings is a go.

We arrive at the parking spot near the old Muraste military structures. The first look is promising - pines, the beach, warm spring sun. Yet don't you dare to be without a hat yet - the spring weather is deceiving, especially near the sea.

Some abandoned houses peek from afar. We head towards them to check them out of course. This picture perfect view makes us feel welcome. Not for long, though, when we get closer :)

There's a witches house also near. Looking closer it's someone's abandoned summer cottage. An old spring-bed intertwined with weeds and grass tells the story of a place abandoned already long time ago.

We head to the other direction, where the forest is more appealing and green, pines and firs bordering the sea. Hidden in the forest, dug in the hills, there are old military outposts with underground rooms. On the first look, one might easily miss them, as some of them are hidden well.

Walking around the hills reveals entrances though - you can be sure we checked in there.

Inside those underground rooms there is nothing but darkness. rust and a dead fox. Most metal has been stripped away and taken by @god-knows-who, with a few control panels still in place here and there.

From the top, the structures are not that well hidden. One could slip in from one of those holes and come out from the cave entrances.

We head further to the forest along the coastline. The spring forest is calming and beautiful.

Someone or something big has passed here. Perhaps an ancient goliath? Or perhaps it's just a tree struck by lightning? The tree has been ripped apart by sheer force.

Another underground structure with a tower on top. As the tower has no apparent entrance, it seems fairly obvious to look for it underground.

A view up from underground through one of the barred windows , shedding some light. It looks glorious from the cold and bleak tunnels.

Alas, climbing to the top of the tower from the inside seems dangerous, using an old and rusty cable rack, as there is no ladder nor stairs. We skip it, for this time at least. We will settle with a view from the sea.

A perfect time to stop for picnic and have a few beers, don't you think? This is where the story ends, but we'll hike again next week. Enjoy your weekend!
