Five-Kroon Viewpoint

The Five-Kroon Viewpoint is a viewing platform on Igor Grafovi Street in Narva, known for its panorama of two fortresses on opposite sides of the river. Its name refers to the reverse side of the former Estonian five-kroon banknote, which depicted Narva Castle, the river and Ivangorod Fortress. From here the position of the fortifications and the border between the two countries is especially clear. Stairs connect the viewpoint with the riverside promenade and the Joaorg recreation area, so it fits easily into a walking route through historic Narva.

Narva-Jõesuu Lighthouse

Narva-Jõesuu Lighthouse stands in the town of Narva-Jõesuu, Ida-Viru County, at the mouth of the Narva River. The red-and-white tower is an important landmark for ships entering the river from the sea, and its upper platform offers views over the river, the bay and the long sandy beach. The lighthouse can be reached on foot from Liiva Street; cars must be left further away. Regular visits are seasonal, and in October individual visitors cannot count on walk-in access: outside the season, only pre-booked groups of at least ten people are received.

Sinimäe Observation Tower

Sinimäe Observation Tower stands above a wooded hill in the small town of Sinimäe, Ida-Viru County. From the upper platform of the wooden tower there are views over the surrounding forests, towards Sillamäe and, in clear weather, to the Gulf of Finland. It is a good stop for anyone wanting to see the Ida-Viru landscape from above without setting out on a long hike. Expect stairs on the way to the tower and choose footwear to suit the weather. The view changes with the seasons: green summer forest, autumn colours and a more open winter horizon give the place different moods.

Indicative price: Free admission

Iisaku Hill and observation tower

Iisaku Hill and observation tower are located in Ida-Viru County near the small town of Iisaku on Tärivere Hill. The 28-meter-high tower is situated at the highest natural point in the county. The summit offers views of the Alutaguse forests and, on a clear day, Lake Peipus direction can be seen. The surrounding forest landscape makes it a destination for nature observation and a short walk. The tower is a separate attraction from the Iisaku Parish Museum, which is located in the center of the settlement. Visitors who are afraid of heights should take the stairs into account and assess weather conditions before climbing.
