Highest Natural Point In Western Estonia

It was 28th May, the weekend when again I didn't feel like staying at home, watching a nice sunny, hot day go by. Instead, I wanted to do something with my life and go somewhere, to see more of our country, more places that I haven't seen yet. Usually, when I don't have anything planned for the weekend, I feel an urgent need to take some trips to go see and photograph new places. On that day it was already getting late for going somewhere far, it was already past 3 PM so my options were kinda limited.

After googling for places in Estonia I finally reached a decision to go and visit the highest point in western Estonia. Actually, there are no natural high places at all in the western part of the country. The highest point is 53 meters above the sea level lol, but I still saw some nice pictures from the internet so it was not a brainer to decide. I wasn't going alone, invited my friend who also sits at home and does nothing useful with his miserable weekend life and pretty soon off we drove.

The destination was not far from my home, exactly 100 kilometers and took almost hour and a half to drive there. After hiking through some forest we finally reached the hill. This is the best view you could see from there.

What is cool is that this is actually an old seacoast when the water level was higher. Not sure about the time when there was sea there so I'm not gonna guess some numbers exactly but roughly around the ice age.

Also, there is ski jump tower located on the highest point. When googling about this place I saw that it is possible to climb up there and actually see some higher views, from photographs it looked pretty nice.

Well, the reality was something quite different I originally hoped. I don't know when those photos were shot that I saw BUT THIS FUCKIN TOWER WAS ROTTING. I love danger and daredevil shit but there was no way I'm gonna climb up to this almost nonexistent tower, I really didn't feel like committing suicide. This actually made me really mad because this was the main thing, to climb this god damn tower to get some nice photos.

Have a look yourself

What made things worse than they already were we had a huge problem with mosquitoes, this was not normal. I don't know whats going on in Estonia this year, but don't visit here, just don't, mosquitos are taking over. Its not that bad in western Estonia but everywhere else I have been in this year's summer, its a disaster.

Would you climb that tower ?

2 more parts are coming of this day what we did and where we went, stay tuned!
