A change is afoot

I

’m not going to lie; November in Estonia is a bit dreary. The brightly coloured leaves have more or less finished changing. The days are short, and the grey rainy days have yet to change to white snowy ones. But this is a great month to visit Estonia, and if you’re reading this, it means you’re already here.

Great! So here is what you can look forward to: the Christmas season is just around the corner, and Estonians begin celebrating early. By the end of the month, the famous Town Hall Square Christmas Market will be in place, and the streets of the Old Town will be filled with the delicious smells of mulled wine, and traditional Estonian Christmas foods.

At the beginning of the month, you can whet your appetite during Tallinn Restaurant Week. The opera

and theatre season is in full swing. And best of all, you can easily book yourself into one of Tallinn’s many day spas for an afternoon of relaxation.

The season is changing, and so are we. The Baltic Guide has a new look! We have added more information into our already packed pages. Each month you can expect to find detailed information on upcoming cultural events, shopping, nightlife, travel in Estonia, Estonian history, and much more!

But if there is something we missed, we want you to let us know, because after all, this is your guide to Estonia.

Once located across the street from Tallinn University on Narva mnt, and known for it’s great collection of Soviet era furniture and knickknacks, Kompott restaurant has moved, orange polka dot sugar tins and all, to a cosy cellar in the Old Town. The décor remains more or less the same, and you almost miss the old location, simply because of the light, but fear not, the back of the restaurant has a window

and the herring with boiled potatoes are still available, reminiscent of Soviet era food. (Perhaps not the lasagne, but the pork dumplings that replace the pasta, certainly). New additions, like the homemade moose sausages, are worth a try. The breakfast menu has also been extended with a selection of porridge.

For the most economic option, why not try one of the daily speci-

als, either a soup or main course.

They are always representative of good old Estonian home cooking, like the beetroot and carrot patties made with pork, and served with boiled potatoes, béchamel sauce, and a fresh salad. ■

The little bistro Kukeke knows that you can never go wrong with local.

bistro TEXT KRISTINA LUPP, PHOTOS ANDREI CHERTKOV

As if there are not enough restaurants already showcasing local Estonian produce in Tallinn, Kukeke certainly had no choice but join the others, simply because of its location near the market at the central train station. No complaints here though, especially with the lovely earthy flavours of autumn.

The two-level restaurant is located in an old railway depot.

The interior is simple, keeping with the industrial look of the building. Daily specials and desserts are written in chalk behind the bar.

What jumps out from the menu, is the list of juices and nonalcoholic cocktails. And you know

that the dining scene is changing in Tallinn, when you see ‘lactosefree’ written beside the mangostrawberry smoothie. An extensive list of classic cocktails is also available, and the modest wine list features mostly European wines.

Expats mourning the loss of Café Anglais say, that Tallinn has been lacking a good bistro, since its closing a few years back.

Is Kukeke the replacement? You be the judge. Some dishes on the menu have a French influence, but it’s the ingredients that have certainly inspired the chef. Try the meat, chicken liver and boletus terrine with marinated cucumber, beetroot, green salad with honey-mustard dressing to start.

As a main course, the rabbit leg braised in white wine, with celeriac, carrot, fennel, rosemary, and pine nuts will not disappoint you either. And if you still have room for dessert, it might be wise to share, as the slices of cake seemed dauntingly large. ■

■ Estonian cheese

If want to get out of the Old Town to see a different neighbourhood, take the No. 1 or 3 Kadriorg tram to NOP, a cosy organic café and food shop just off of Narva mnt. The shop sells local and specialty products (not all of which are organic). Stop in for a light lunch, or a cofee.

If you’ve been to one of Tallinn’s great restaurants and sampled a local chees platter, then chances are you’ve tasted Breti cheese. This small producer has been making artisanal cheeses since 2004, and is the only producer of blue cheese in Estonia. These small rounds of brie, both flavoured or plain, make the perfect Estonian food souvenir.

The Sushi House recently opened their third location in the Rotermann Centre. Its sleek interior is the perfect addition to this stylish shopping centre, that is quickly becoming known for its food.

The menu has all of the basic sushi staples: miso soup, maki, nigiri, sashimi, and even some of their own special “sushi house” rolls. I decided to try a selection of nigiri sushi, a bowl of miso soup with tofu, and a pot of green tea.

The miso soup had just the right amount of seasoning and a gene-

rous serving of tofu and wakame.

Of the nigiri sushi, which is fish on top of rice, I tried the salmon, tuna, salmon roe, tilapia, eel, and goma wakame. The eel had been delicately cooked and wrapped around the rice with some seaweed. A larger portion of eel is available as a main course and served on a bed of rice. The salmon, tuna, and tilapia were fresh, and the goma wakame (seaweed salad roll) was flavourful.

The service was fast and friendly, and is a great place to come

for a quick lunch, with its convenient Tallinn city centre locations.

The Sushi House offers take-away and catering, and you can even organise a sushi making course.

It’s autumn once again in Tallinn, and that means keeping warm, enjoying hearty roasts, and Estonian produce. At Neh, the chefs want to show you what Nordic

Island cuisine is all about; and what better way to do this, than with a Sunday roast.

Every Sunday, Neh opens for lunch from 12-16 and serves you a different roast each week. (18 per person, 32 for two, and children 12 and under 12) The meal begins with a light appetiser. On this particular Sunday, we were served smoked Baltic herring. It was

berry jam, with butternut squash and chard, as an appetiser. Follow it up with the homemade game sausages, served with mustard mash and roasted pepper and red onion salad. Or try the burger, served with rosemary and sea salt fries, and dill aioli for dipping.

Portions are generous, but not overwhelming.

They have a short wine list, as well as local beers. Enjoy a coffee, with a dessert, like the ovenbaked apple-marzipan crumble with cinnamon ice-cream. ■

TEXT KRISTINA LUPP, PHOTOS ANDREI CHERTKOV

Many of the 1245 manors recorded in 1910 are in ruin, or disappeared completely; but there are still a few hundred manors that have stood the test of time, either by being converted into schools or nursing homes. Some are privately owned, and have been beautifully renovated. And there are some 200 manor house ruins, where you can still see parts of their structures.

Many of the manors that you can see today in Estonia were built between 1760 and World War One, by Baltic German nobility. After Estonian agrarian land reform, the manors were used for schools, or just simply left empty, and the surrounding land divided into small peasant holdings.

During the Soviet period, the deterioration of these buildings continued further, as they were only appreciated for their practical value.

Today, appreciation for these beautiful manors has returned.

Visiting some of the manor houses in Estonia is a great way to get out of the city, and acquainted with a rich history. We have put together a route for you, to visit some of the manors just outside of Tallinn. While some of the manors can only be enjoyed from afar, as they are private property, some have been converted into hotels and restaurants, where you can see what they look like from inside.

This estate developed after 1305, when the Daugavgriva Cistercian Monastery near Riga moved to Padise. The monastery was given to Thomas Ramm, Burgomaster of Riga in 1622, and was used as a place of residence. The new mansion was built after the living quarters in the monastery caught fire in 1766. Today, the manor house operates as a hotel and restaurant, and you can wander through the ruins of the monastery, and even climb up to the top of the tower, for a great view over the landscape. www.padisemois.ee

The Estonian Museum of Occupations shows the developments in Estonia between 1940-1991.

Tallinn City museum in the wake of change

The Estonian Museum of Occupations has a display of two thrilling exhibitions, about two legends and heroes, the Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg and Nobel Prize laureate writer Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. Both men suffered under Nazi and communist oppression.

The Swedish Government has decided to commemorate, both in Sweden and internationally, Raoul Wallenberg’s centenary in 2012 by honouring his memory with various events and activities.

Raoul Wallenberg is also connected with Estonians who fled the Soviet occupation. During the Cold War, the Soviet Union made proposals to Sweden for an exchange of Estonian refugees against Raoul Wallenberg. Thus, Wallenberg might have been released if tens of thousands of Estonians would have been repatriated to Soviet occupied Estonia. Sweden rejected the proposal, which most probably cemented the fate of Wallenberg.

The Tallinn City Museum turns 75 this year.

TEXT TOOMAS KÄBIN/KALMER ULM , PHOTOS TALLINN CITY MUSEUM

The decision to open the museum was taken by the Tallinn City Council on December 15th, 1937.

Ever since, the museum has been manoeuvring through difficult periods, especially during the Soviet times, when history was rewritten to reflect Soviet truth and ideology. Today, the museum takes pride in carrying the cultural and historical heritage of Tallinn.

It is not only a popular place for interactive communication and leisure time activities, but also a centre for research and memory.

“The museum is often connected to its impressive premises on Vene Street, one of the oldest buildings in Tallinn, dating back

to the 14th century,” says Kalmer Ulm, Development Manager, “but in fact, the museum is spread around town to eight locations.”

At the Vene Street location, visitors can discover the exhibition The Town That Will Never Be Completed, with acoustic elements, chronicle films, videos, and displays. Take a look at the hall, illustrating the home of a medieval merchant, or items that once depicted the wealth of well to do citizens. There is also a portrait gallery.

Jubilees always imply changes and challenges. Kalmer Ulm mentions the renovation of the impressive 14th century Virgin Tower, part of the city wall. Once completed, much attention will be given eating habits, food and

feasts throughout the centuries.

Visitors will also gain insight into the dazzling and thrilling history of the tower and the fortifications. The tower will be connected with Kiek in de Kök, the most well-known and loved fortification tower in Tallinn. In 2013, the museum will focus, among other things, on engravings in stone, with innumerable treasures dating back to the 15th century and made by masters in Tallinn. The artefacts will be on display in one of the bastions that can be reached from the Kiek in de Kök tower. ■

The 314-meter tall Tallinn TV Tower has been a tourist magnet ever since its reopening last spring. Marketing manager Viktoria Toompere says, “we expected 100,000 visitors this year, but now 170,000 have enjoyed not only the breath-taking view from the visitor’s platform, but also all of the interactive fun.”

From the visitor’s platform you can see the silhouette of the Tallinn Old Town, some 10 kilometres to the west. Muuga Harbour is located to the north, on the shores of the Gulf of Finland. In Soviet times, the tower was the only place to ‘see through the iron curtain,’ to the contour of unattainable capitalist Finland. The lights of Helsinki was proof that there was a free world, which inspired many!

Once you have looked horizontally, step on the glass circles in the floor and look vertically, 170 meters down! If you are less adventurous, just take a break in the café-restaurant, or get a glimpse of an interactive exhibition illustrating Estonian achievements.

Back at the entrance area you can get a glimpse of Estonian history, and the restoration of independence, in which the TV Tower played an important role.

“Yet another reason behind the success of the TV Tower is, that we are well connected with music,” says Viktoria Toompere. “We arrange concerts twice a month, jazz in cooperation with the Jazzkaar festival and baroque music with the Corelli Music agency. ■

For something a little different: Thai massage involves stretching and deep massage. No oils are used, and the client wears comfortable, loose fitting clothing and the massage takes place on the floor. To put it simply, it’s like doing yoga, but someone else is moving your arms and legs for you.

While some positions seemed easy, others were more difficult.

Marika, my massage therapist said that Thai massage is different for everyone. Some people are more flexible than others, and Thai massage is not suited to everyone. This is why she asked me a few standard questions before starting. For example, Thai massage can be beneficial for pregnant women, but the technique must be adapted.

Big selection o purses, wallets and gloves

Already a success in the Baltics, Finland, and France, their recent performances in Germany and London (where the band sold out one of the city's more select venues, The Borderline) have been well received, and you can expect this talented group of musicians to hit the big time any time soon.

Their second album, last year’s, Good Man Down, showed a band hitting all the right notes. Their gentle indie folk mix pointed to a host of influences from Jeff Buckley to the Beatles and provided us with

a band who could be compared to Travis (if Travis were cool) or Mumford and Sons (if Mumford and Sons weren't a bunch of pretentious wankers).

At present, the band is on tour in the States and are going down well with a whole new audience. With a new album in the pipeline, it's only a matter of time before they become everyone's (and I mean EVERYONE'S) favourite band. ■

Estonia certainly has a dark side. While all the tree hugging, smiling blond bar staff (if you go to the tourist bars) and endless array of folk-rock groups may suggest a sweet natured, ethereal nation, dig a little deeper and you'll soon discover that something much blacker lies beneath it all.

Kosmikud are key proponents of this darkness, as their upcoming Estonian tour will reveal.

Formed in 1999, their depressive rock sound sums up the more maudlin side

of Estonia. Slow, riff laden rock feasts, mixed with the odd burst of power should appeal to Rock and Metal fans alike. Meelis Hainsoo's deep growling vocals are reminiscent of a Vasco Rossi who doesn't mind getting dirty once in a while or a grumpier James Hetfield. But it's not all so depressing, as their regular trips into rock cliché, and a penchant for public nudity show. ■

Drink Baar

Every town needs to have at least one place where the weary traveller can go and feel instantly at home.

In Tallinn, that place is the imaginatively named Drink Baar.

To call Drink Baar another British style pub would be to do it a great disservice, as its popularity with ex-pats, tourists and locals shows.

Drink mixes all the good aspects of British pub culture (homely decor, wholesome menu and sport on TV) with a wealth

of events that has placed it in the centre of English speaking culture in Tallinn. The regular comedy nights are certainly a major pull and the existence of a regular pub quiz has proved a hit with homesick Brits and curious locals alike.

On top of this, their rather impressive beer list shows that no corner of the globe has been left unturned while searching for decent ale.

So, if you’re lost for somewhere to go, you could do a lot worse than try Drink Baar for an evening of Belgian Beer, friendly chatter and some of the finest fish n' chips this side of Dover. ■

z A Brief History of Estonia

10,000 BC The Ice Age ends and people arrive in the territory of Estonia.

11th Century The main source of subsistence is agriculture and the provincial government is formed.

1200s The Livonian Brotherhood of the Sword is formed in Southern Estonia and the Danish occupy Northern Estonia.

1343 St. George’s Night uprising. Estonian peasants rise up against the occupiers with modest success.

1346 Denmark sells land in Estonia to the Teutonic Order.

1558 Ivan the Terrible of Russia goes to war against Livonia, when Estonia comprised part of Latvia. The war began in 1553 and included Denmark, Sweden and Poland. Estonia and Latvia were divided among Poland (Latvia and Southern Estonia), Sweden (Northern Estonia), and Denmark (Saaremaa).

1600s Schools are set up and the University of Tartu (1632) is under Swedish rule.

1700–1710 The Great Northern War inflicts fruitless years of famine and plague.

The population decreases from 350,000 to 100,000.

1710 Tallinn and Uusikaupunki belong to Russia after the Treaty of Nystad.

1800s The power of the Tsar diminishes, serfdom is abolished and peasants are given the right to purchase land (1860). In 1914, half of the land belongs to the German nobility.

Political power remains in the hands of the nobility.

1917 With the fall of the Russian Empire, Estonia receives autonomy. Estonia organises elections and Konstantin Päts becomes head of government.

1918 Germany occupies Estonia. The Estonian Provincial Assembly declares Estonia’s independence on February 24. Estonian forces fight against German and Russian forces.

1919 Estonian War of Independence continues and ends on 02.02.1920 in Tartu.

1920 The first formal law of Independent Estonia is made to expand democracy.

Many small political parties are formed.

1929–35 The economic and political crisis of 1929-35 results in a state of emergency and a disbandment of the parliament.

Päts rules by decree.

1937 A new constitution is written, 1938 Päts becomes president, there is a return to constitutional governance, but full democracy is not reached prior to the Soviet occupation.

1939 The German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact is signed. On September 28, Estonia is forced to allow the Soviet Army to set up military bases in Estonia.

1940 “Elections” are held, after which Estonia becomes a Soviet Republic (27.7.) and merges with the Soviet Union.

1940–41 The Germans occupy Estonia.

Nearly 70 000 Estonians join the German army. In September 1944, the Red Army sweeps in on Estonia again.

1944–91 Estonia is Soviet Estonia. Near the end of 1944, a large part of the population flees abroad. About 10,000 men (The Forest Brothers) will continue to fight.

1948 25,000 Estonians are deported to camps in the east. In 1940 the Estonian population was estimated at 1.1 million, but by 1949 it had decreased to 850,000.

1955 Over 200,000 non-Estonians move to Estonia. In 1980, more than 60% of the population is Estonian.

1987 An attempt is made by Estonians to break from the Soviet Union. There are demonstrations, including the environmental campaign against opening large phosphorus mines in Virumaa.

1988 The Singing Revolution, Estonia declares its sovereignty on 16.11.1988.

1991 Estonia regains independence on August 20 after the failure of the coup d’état in Moscow.

2004 Estonia joins the European Union and NATO. 2011 The Euro replaces the Crown, used since 1992 as currency.

Get a glimpse of a DIFFERENT ESTONIA Take a ride on a Soviet era train before they disappear.

Brand new Swiss Stadler commuter trains will be introduced as of June 2014.

TEXT TOOMAS KÄBIN PHOTO , PHOTO ANDREI CHERTKOV

Join the thousands of commuter train passengers that travel to and from Tallinn everyday with the trains of the Elektriraudtee (electric railways). They will take you away from touristy Tallinn and give you a glimpse into life outside the city.

The arrogant young, rich, and beautiful BMW and Mercedes owners are absent; they would never set foot on a commuter train! In this respect, Estonian society still differs from Western Europe, where everyone uses communal transportation.

The old Elektriraudtee Soviet trains are shaky, bumpy, and noisy; sometimes it is too cold, or too warm inside, and the lighting is not the most pleasant. The trains are difficult to board and definitely not made for handicapped people – in the Soviet Union there were none!

The atmosphere on board is rather timid; nobody speaks to the stranger next to them. You can expect that at least one person in the carriage will be drunk, someone will be snoring, others will be furiously typing on their laptops, and some, just staring at the passing scenery. They are all part of everyday life in Estonia.

There is no high fashion here.

You will enjoy the journey if you are laid back and curious about life and people. Perhaps even

someone will start talking with you then.

The Elektriraudtee maintains three lines from The Tallinn Central Station, Balti jaam. Two lines to the West of Tallinn, to godforsaken places like the former Soviet naval base Paldiski or rural Riisipere, seemingly in the middle of nowhere. The eastern line ends at Aegviidu, a 100 quiet village, surrounded by wonderful lakes, forests, and hiking trails, used for skiing in winter.

This is hard to believe on a grey

The old Elektriraudtee Soviet trains are shaky, bumpy, and noisy.

November day. Paldiski is perhaps the most interesting. Once super secret and sealed off from the majority of the population, it was a mecca for privileged Soviet officers. Some have stayed and the town is still mainly Russian speaking. The two or three main streets are empty. Apart for the harbour activities, not too much is going on, however many apartment blocks have been painted, and there is even a restaurant. It is definitely not a tourist town, and after half an hour, it is safe to say that you will have seen it all. The Pakri Peninsula, just outside of town is scattered with abandoned bunkers and military debris, especially fascinating if you are interested in Soviet history. The peninsula itself is stunning, with tall limestone cliffs, and is home to the rare black guillemots, which look like small penguins.

The journey is only 40 kilometres long, but takes about an hour and 20 minutes, because the train makes several stops.

Brand new Swiss built Stadler commuter trains (electric and diesel), will be introduced as of June 2013. The last Soviet trains will be phased out in June 2014.

Must-see sights of Tallinn Tallinn with a view The old town of Tallinn is divided into a lower and upper part. The lower town was inhabited by hanseatic traders and the upper town, or Toompea was inhabited by nobility.

The lower part of Tallinn’s Old Town can be seen from viewing platforms at Toompea. The best view of Toompea is from the tower of St. Olaf’s Church.

Tallinn’s Old Town was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997.

IN THE OLD TOWN: ■ The watchtowers of Suur-Kloostri and Väike-Kloostri allow access to Nunna Tower and from there, access to Sauna Tower and Kuldjala Tower.

■ Town Hall Square (Raekoda).

Northern Europe’s best-preserved medieval town hall square was built at the beginning of the 1400s.

OUTSIDE OF THE OLD TOWN: ■ Freedom Square (Vabaduse väljak). This square holds great symbolic importance and is located just south of the Old Town. The pillar located at the edge of the square, consists of a large pedestal with the Cross of Liberty (Vabadusrist) placed on top.

This monument reads: “Estonian War of Independence 1918–1920”. On its other side in a the Freedom Bell (Vabaduse kell).

■ Kadriorg Park. This area houses the Presidential Palace and the palace of Peter the Great, where today the KUMU Art Museum stands. There are plenty of other things to see as well, in this beautiful and prestigious park. From the Kadriorg Palace head straight along the park trail to the Rusalka monument, located at the shore of the Gulf of Finland.

Tallinn Botanical Gardens species as well as many large mammals, including elephants, polar bears, chimpanzees and rhinoceros.

Located opposite the Rocca al Mare Shopping Centre.

■ Kalamaja District (Fish House) is the area to visit if you want to get a taste for old Tallinn. The wooden houses are typical of those built in the 1920s and 30s, during the first period of Estonian independence. In recent years, this area has become

Town Hall Square ■ Built in 1246, St. Catherine’s Monastery (Püha Katariina klooster) is the oldest building in Tallinn.

■ Mustapeade House. Built in 1399 for the Brotherhood of Blackheads and is Tallinn’s only renaissance building.

■ The Town Hall Pharmacy (Raeapteek) is one of Europe’s oldest pharmacies, which still operates in its original location in the Town Hall Square.

■ 3 Kiriku Platform The platform at the end of Kiriku Street faces west and offers a view

■ 4 Best of both worlds Climb the stairs of the St Olaf Church and you will discover not only the lower town beneath but also the magnificent palaces facing the slopes of the Toompea Hill, and the upper town.

■ 5 Toompea Castle and Pikk Hermann Tower.

The Toompea Tower (15th century) and the blue, black, and white Estonian flag signify independence and freedom for Estonians. The 46-meter tower is best seen if you walk downhill from Lossi plats square along Falgi Street. Now, turn around, look up and the impressive wall of the medieval fortification with the Pikk Hermann (Tall Hermann) will greet you!

Kadriorg Park ■ The Tallinn Song Festival Grounds (Tallinna lauluväljak). Built in 1960, this amphitheatre can hold more than 30 000 singers. These grounds played an important part of the process that led to the restoration of Estonian independence, the initial phase in the Singing Revolution.

■ The Ruins of St. Bridget’s Convent (Pirita Klooster). Located near Pirita Beach, this monastery was built in 1407 during the Swedish occupation.

The convent was destroyed by Ivan the Terrible’s troops in 1577.

quite bohemian, with many artists, and young entrepreneurs taking up residence here.

■ Patarei Prison gives an eerie glimpse into gloomy Soviet era prison life. For a small entrance fee you can take a self-guided tour through the dark halls of this old sea fortress that has served as barracks, and then as a prison during Soviet times.

■ The Tallinn Botanical Gardens.

4,500 varieties of plants and 123 hectares of greenhouses, and parks, the Botanical Gardens are an oasis in the summer and winter.

Town Hall Pharmacy

■ 1 Kohtu Platform The Kohtu street platform offers the best view of the Old Town and is a must-see. After a visit to the platform, the likelihood of getting lost in the labyrinth-like streets of the lower town is smaller. The impressive tower of the Niguliste Church seems at arms length. The gracious spire of the medieval City Hall has an Oriental touch and resembles that of the Pühavaimu Church (Church of Holy Spirit). The red tiled roofs with white edges are characteristic of Tallinn.

■ 2 Patkul Platform The Patkul platform shows both a view of St Olaf’s Church, and part of the city wall. The church used to be even taller in medieval times and was actually the tallest building in the world in its time. Nowhere else can you see the city wall from a better angel. The harbour and the sea are lying just in front. The Patkul stairs take you more or less to the city centre, and to the Tallinn railway station.

Take a look to the left, and parallel with the platform you will see the pillars of Stenbock Palace, the seat of the Estonian government. Tallinn

of splendid and romantic sunsets.

The area is more genuine, calm, and bohemian than around other platforms.

■ Tallinn Zoo. Approximately 90 hectares, this zoo houses many rare
