Mushrooms and Markets

ast month my Facebook newsfeed was filled with news reports about Russia, and photos of mushrooms. This year was one of the best years for mushroom picking due to the hot summer and the rainy start to September. The forests were full of mushroom foragers searching for the untouched spot of ground where they could fill their basket, or baskets. If you drove through the countryside in September and wondered why there were cars seemingly abandoned at the side of the road, this was why. I am no mycological expert. I can identify two types of mushrooms, and when I go foraging with my friends or cousins, I have them carefully inspect my basket. And to be completely honest, most of the other types of mushrooms I have found, turn out to be inedible, i.e. poisonous. If you want to try Estonian mushrooms and don’t have the expert mycological knowledge of Estonians, then I suggest visiting one of Tallinn’s markets. I found out recently that an ex-pat friend

of mine had never been to Tallinn’s central market, or Keskturg. And hearing of all the mushrooms to be had this year, I was happy to take him. Tallinn’s Keskturg is a sight to behold. I remember my grandmother taking me there on my first visit to Estonia in the 90s and I was overwhelmed by all the stuff. (The market has changed somewhat since the 90s). While there is an excellent variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, small goods and cheese; there is also a lot of other stuff, like clothing, things for the home, plants, and more. This month, read all about Estonian craft beer, and the newest restaurants in Tallinn. Want to escape the city, why not go and visit Kuressaare, Saaremaa’s island capital. And as always, we have all the latest news and events and more to keep you entertained!

Must-see sights of the Old Town TEXT KRISTINA LUPP, PHOTOS ANDREI CHERTKOV

in Low German, as this was one of the main things soldiers spent their time doing while on the lookout for intruders. Kiek in de Kök dates back to the 15th century. The tower is 38 metres tall, and the walls are four metres thick. Komandandi tee 2, Tallinn B1.

Viewing Platforms Kohtu Platform - offers one of the best views of the Old Town. The impressive tower of the Niguliste Church seems at arms length. The red tiled roofs with white edges are characteristic of Tallinn. Tallinn B1. Patkul Platform - shows both a view of St Olaf’s Church, and part of the city wall. The church was even taller in medieval times and the tallest building in the world in its time. Nowhere else can you see the city wall from a better angle. Tallinn B1. Kiriku Platform - the platform at the end of Kiriku Street faces west and offers a view of splendid and romantic sunsets. Tallinn B1.

Raeapteek The Town Hall Pharmacy (Raeapteek) is one of Europe's oldest pharmacies, which still operates in its original location, in the Town Hall Square. Tallinn Old Town H 1.

Raekoja plats Tallinn’s Old Town was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. The Town Hall Square (Raekoja plats) is Northern Europe’s best-preserved medieval town hall square and was built at the beginning of the 1400s.

Toompea Castle The Tall Hermann Tower (15th century) on the southwest corner of the hill, and the blue, black, and white Estonian flag signify independence and freedom for Estonians. Today, Toompea is the centre of Estonian government and the Riigikogu (parliament). Look for the pink building behind the Russian Orthodox Aleksander Nevsky Cathedral. Tallinn B1.

Tallinn Old Town H 1-2.

Katariina käik

Blink and you might miss this narrow passageway off of Vene. Built in 1246, St. Catherine's Monastery (Püha Katariina klooster) is the oldest building in Tallinn. This passageway is also known as the Latin Quarter of Tallinn, and where you can find one of Tallinn’s first Italian restaurants. Tallinn Old Town H 2-3.

Kiek in de Kök and the Bastion Tunnels

St Olaf’s Church (Oleviste kirik) 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 Toompea Hill, and the upper town. 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. Lai 50, Tallinn Old Town E2.

The Kiek in de Kök tower is the entrance to historical underground bastion tunnels. In Soviet times they were supposed to serve as bomb shelters and protect the communist elite in case of a war. Kiek in de Kök means, “look into the kitchen”

Paks Margareeta Fat Margaret (Paks Margareeta) is the most important fortification tower in Tallinn. She was built in the early 1500s. The diameter of the tower is 25 metres and the walls are up to 6.5 metres thick! She was constructed to protect Tallinn from intruders from the sea. Fat Margaret is often the main entrance gate and first encounter for visitors to the Old Town in Tallinn, if arriving by sea. Pikk 70,Tallinn A2.

KGB Museum

Town Hall Square

Kiek in de kök

A fascinating museum about Soviet history in Estonia is located on the top floor of the Viru Hotel. The hotel rooms were under KGB surveillance. The rooms were equipped with microphones, and small holes were made in the walls, where cameras could be placed to take pictures of hotel guests. The museum is only accessible by guided tour. Tours run daily and are held in English, Finnish, Russian, and Estonian. English tours book up quickly so bookings are recommended. Viru väljak 4, Tallinn B2.

Sometimes you just don’t have enough time to see everything, but on the Tallinn City Tour you just might. Three lines run daily, and best of all, each one passes through the Port of Tallinn, making it even more convenient. The tour operates in ten different languages and is guide by a recorded audio track that follows the sequence of the sights. One ticket is valid for 24 hours. This means that you can travel on all three routes in one day. If you purchase a 24-hour Tallinn Card then your journey on the Tallinn City Tour is free.

■ Pick up the Tallinn Card (available from Tourist Information Kiosks and the A & D terminals at the port) for free entrance to many museums, free use to Tallinn city transportation, including the Hop on, Hop off bus (don’t forget the swipe the card), and further discounts all around town. www. tallinncard.ee

A quick history of the city of Tallinn

Outside of the Old Town TEXT KRISTINA LUPP, PHOTOS ANDREI CHERTKOV

Kalamaja & Kopli Kalamaja (Fish house) is a historic suburb filled with wooden houses and old factories. From the 14th century, Kalamaja has served as Tallinn’s main fishing port and was home to fishermen and fishmongers. When the railroad connected Tallinn with St. Petersburg in 1870, many factories opened. The colourful wooden houses you still see today were built in the 1920s and 1930s to house the growing working population. Kalamaja has seen a revival over the last few years as artists and other bohemian types moved in for the large spaces and cheap rent. Restaurants and cafés began to open, and the area continues to grow .

Patarei Prison (Patarei Vangla) 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.

Kalaranna 2-2a By tram: No. 1 or 2 from the city centre to the Linnahall stop. From there, by foot along the Cultural Kilometre trail, just before the Seaplane Harbour.

1285 Tallinn joins the Hanseatic League. 1346 The Danish sell Tallinn to the German Order. Toompea was divided among princes and bourgeoisie in the upper-town and craftsmen in the lower-town.

by the Russian tsar. The construction is architecturally unique since it was the largest armoured concrete ceiling in the world at the time of construction.

Küti 17 / Vesilennuki 6, Tallinn By tram: No. 1 or 2 from the city centre to the Linnahall stop. From there, by foot along the Cultural Kilometre trail.

The name Tallinn originates from the Danish occupation (1219–).

1561 Tallinn goes to the Swedish. 1721 The Russians conquer Estonia and Tallinn.

Pirita Pirita is an area located a short distance to the east of the city centre and offers a variety of things to see and do. Start by visiting the ruins of St Birgitta’s Convent ruins (Pirita klooster) whose colourful history dates back to the 15th century. A stroll through the ruins and the surrounds, including the small cemetery, is a moving reminder of the past. Its proximity to the Pirita River and the beach makes it perfect as part of a day excursion. The 2km long beach can attract up to 30,000 visitors a day in summer. Also located a short distance from the beach is the city’s Botanical Gardens (Botaanikaaed) and the famous Tallinn TV Tower (Teletorn), which is a must see as it not only provides a number of interactive exhibits but also offers one of the best views of the city and the district. A starting point for information on these can be found at:

1918 Estonia declares independence and Tallinn becomes its capital. 1939–44 Russians and Germans occupy Tallinn. 1944 The Soviet Army bombs Tallinn in March and causes extensive damage. 1400 people are killed.

Seaplane Harbour (Lennusadam) Have you ever seen the hull of a real submarine from below? Or better still, crawled through the narrow living and working quarters of a fully refurbished sub from the 1930s? The submarine Lembit was one of two Estonian submarines built in the UK in the mid 1930s. Another sight is an authentic replica of the Short Admiralty Type 184 seaplane, a British two-seat reconnaissance, bombing, and torpedo carrying folding-wing seaplane used in the Estonian war of Independence in the early 1920s and later for mail service. The museum is located in the former seaplane hangars built during WWI

Kadriorg Park is the area that houses the Presidential Palace (Presidendi kantselei) and the Kadriorg Palace (Kadrioru loss), and the KUMU Art Museum. (All located on Weizenbergi). Kadriorg means Catherine’s Valley in Estonian, and dates back to the 18th century. The park and the palace were built by Peter the Great, who apparently helped in its building. As was customary at the time, the main house was named after his wife. There are plenty of other things to see in this beautiful and prestigious park. From the Kadriorg Palace, head straight along the park trail to the Russalka monument, located at the shore of the Gulf of Finland. The famous Song Festival Grounds (Lauluväljak) are only a short walk from the park as well.

Estonian Open Museum (Eesti Vabaõhumuuseum) Visitors can catch a glimpse of the Estonian countryside and village life from the past. The venue has a distinctive rural atmosphere that includes various farm buildings as well as its own church, tavern, and schoolhouse. Several mills, a fire station, fishing net sheds, a dancing area, and a village swing add to the character of the place. Some of the country’s iconic windmills can also be seen. Various demonstrations, displays and interactive activities help bring the past to life and provide visitors with a fun and educational experience.

Vabaõhumuuseumi tee 12, Tallinn.

Debit and credit cards are widely accepted throughout Estonia, especially VISA and Mastercard. American Express is not as widely accepted.

Currency can be exchanged in banks throughout the country. Major Estonian banks include: LHV, Swedbank, SEB, and Nordea. There is a wide network of ATMs in major cities and smaller towns. Currency can also be exchanged at Eurex, and Tavid.

Estonian brewing brewin g traditions B TEXT KRISTINA LUPP, PHOTOS ANDREI CHERTKOV

eer brewing has a long history in Estonia. Wheat, rye, and oats have long been cultivated in Estonia. Beer brewing methods varied regionally, giving each beer a different taste, colour, and strength. Some beers were made with ingredients that we now consider perhaps a little odd, ingredients like juniper, or birch. Estonian craft brewers have started bringing back some of these old styles of beers, and the response, nothing but happy beer drinkers. Estonia’s biggest breweries like A. Le Coq, Saku and Viru Õlu together make up 90 of the market share. But it’s the craft brewers that are taking home the prizes. At the beer championships in Helsinki, three Estonian craft beers won over the Norwegian beers. Within the past year or so, as the brewers created more beers, us beer drinkers needed somewhere to go and try them and buy them. Many small bars and pubs have opened up in the Tallinn for just that purpose. We’ve compiled a list of places to buy the beers to

take home, or sit and enjoy a night ht sampling different brews.

A night out of the Old Town

Võrgu 3, Tallinn

Begin your evening at one of Tallinn’s loveliest cafes, a place set in an old stone house on Kalasadama where the food is lovingly prepared, the menu varied, and the prices are not too high. Every evening needs a little food to start it off, and this is the perfect place. You can find everything from well-presented but filling main courses to sweet treats. Cake and wine never tasted so good, and every big night out needs to begin with a full stomach.

Tops Soo 15, Tallinn A1

This little watering hole, with the horseshoe-shaped bar surrounded by tables wedged together, is in the middle of Kalamaja, a district that was cool for a very long time. Tops has only been open for a few years, but it has the atmosphere and feel of a much older bar. It takes fixtures and fittings from the 1960s and ’70s and puts them into what - and I’ve got to be honest when I say this - looks like my old cricket club pavilion; a snapshot of imagined good times in about 1973. If this doesn’t sound appealing, factor in the great ser-

t’s autumn. That means all those nice venues outdoors, the summer terraces and so on, have closed their roof gardens. However there is still more going on in Tallinn than you can shake a stick at. Nightlife in the city is improving all the time and there is no better time to check this out than in the supposedly slow season. Tallinn is a lovely little city with a lot to offer, whatever the time of year. There is no better time to put this to the test than a time of year when the evenings are drawing in.

Pudel Baar Telliskivi 60A, Tallinn A1

If you’ve not been out of the Old Town, chances are you’ve never been to Pudel Baar, the brainchild of James Ramsden, the Yorkshireman who first brought carefullycurated beers to Estonia through Drink Baar and Drink Shop, then moved on to Telliskivi, where there was an opportunity to do something new and Scandinavian with a bar. The result? Pudel - a no-nonsense wood-panelled

bar built into the corner of an old factory. You will find the well-lit, white interior cheers you up no matter what autumn blues were afflicting you outside. The staff at Pudel are the best of the best - they don’t just take the beers out of the fridge and take your money like some Estonian bar-staff; instead they are happy to talk you through the enormous selection of craft beers, most of them either the product of micro-breweries from all over Europe, or the best kind of imported British and Belgian beers. Pudel adds to the alreadystrong appeal of its core product by hosting monthly comedy and quiz nights, and, occasionally, the now-legendary ”drink and draw” art classes.

F-Building, to give its English name, is the centre and heartbeat of the regenerated Telliskivi complex, having been one of the first developments in the area. Generally a cafe and restaurant that is open until late, F-Hoone holds regular parties, which you can find out about through Facebook. Given that the converted industrial space is long, wide and has three separate rooms, it brings scope to have two different DJs playing at any one time, meaning that some excellent nights of

dance music in one room and retro music or hip-hop in the other have already occurred. Though some of the original F-Hoone staff have moved on to newer ventures such as the overrated Kohvik Sesoon, the magic of the older venue has remained as it has become established in the Tallinn scene. ■

Honest Fashion Estonian designer Reet Aus created a trend from trash. TEXT ARJA KORHONEN, PHOTOS ANDREI CHERTKOV

eet Aus is in many ways a pioneer in the fashion world. She has started the world’s first recycled materials collection and is trying to introduce the idea of using surplus material in mass production in the fashion industry. The phrase nomen est omen or name is mark, comes to mind when you think if Reet. Her surname Aus, means honest and noble, and Reet’s company Aus Design looks for the path towards ethical fashion trends and dealing with problems in the textile industry in the same way. The use of used materials is called upcycling. Reet speaks about this with enthusiasm. When leftover materials are not thrown away, then new fashion is created and the price of those materials rises.

factory’s size amazed Reet, who was used to small scale production. “There are a total of 32,000 workers in the factory. The factory feels like a small city”. Reet Aus introduced her upcycled collection outside of Estonia in 2007. She has been in invited to Berlin, Paris, and London fashion weeks. “At the beginning they told me I was ahead of my time. Suppliers did not even want to buy it”. Now, since the market has changed quickly, Reet’s clothing can be found in fashion boutiques throughout Europe. “Consumers have become

Small leaders? Forty-year-old Reet Aus has a PhD and is mother to three children, though she looks like a young girl. Reet is a true Pippi Longstocking, who is exposing the secrets of the fashion industry. After her upcycling collection, Reet is already on to another project. Together with her research group, she is finishing the certificate for her upcycled products. With the help of the EU certificate, the customer will know that the dress on the hanger is truly made with recycled fabric. So that upcycling truly has meaning, large manufacturers like H&M should implement the use of surplus fabrics. We have been talking quietly with large brands, and in principle they would be interested if… “The fashion industry is not happy to admit it, but they too have to take responsibility for waste”. “Leftover material in the fashion industry is in large quantity”. According to Reet’s research at Bexicom, using surplus fabric would reduce waste by half and save 80 on electric and water costs. “Using surplus is easy, and it is useful for everyone, and everyone wins in the end”, Reet confirms. ■

Kuressaare is the capital of Saaremaa, and the largest town on the island. Until 1918 it was called Arensburg, after the fortress, and during the Soviet period it was called Kingissepa after the famous communist, Viktor Kingissepa. In 1988 its historical name Kuressaare was restored. This island town has seen its fair share of rulers including Denmark, Sweden, and Russia. The story starts in 1227, when the fortress was built as the stronghold for the bishop, and a small settle-

Estonia’s most unique lake About 18km from Kuressaare along the Valjala-Kuressaare road is the 100m wide meteorite Crater Lake. The crater was formed by a meteorite about 2700 years ago and is one of the largest in Europe. According to Scandinavian mythology, the area is known as “the sun’s grave.” It was said that the sun had chosen to be buried there and thus Estonians are considered to be blessed people. Close to the crater is also a museum, shop, and tavern.

ment was built around it. In 1559, the bishop Münchhausen sold his estate to the King of Denmark Frederik II, and in 1563, Arensburg received its town status. In 1645 the Swedish era began, as did the modernization of the city. The town hall and weigh house were built, as well as streets that are more or less in the same network today. The 18th century saw the beginning of the Russian period, and in 1858 the first boat service from Riga began. In 1889, Muhu was connected by boat service to the mainland. During the Soviet

The Beauty Capsule The spa capsule at OK Salong offers a truly unique spa experience. TEXT KRISTINA LUPP, PHOTOS ANDREI CHERTKOV

A spa capsule is exactly what it sounds like, a fully immersive spa experience. It is one of the few spa capsules in Estonia and can be visited at the OK Salong near Tallinn’s harbour. Spa capsules are used for body wrapping procedures, which is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures at the moment. Body wrapping helps prevent and treat cellulite, improves skins elasticity, prevent stretch marks, cleanses the body of toxins, revitalises the skin and the mind, and more. When you arrive at OK Salong, the cosmetician asks you to fill out a form to help tailor a program suited to your individual needs.

There are many different kinds of wrapping procedures, which use different creams and exfoliants, but a typical wrap starts like this: Peeling is the first step, where the skin is cleansed, and pores are opened to allow the wrap to get deeper into your skin. This is then rinsed off with the shower setting and you rest with the body mask in the capsule for 20 to 40 minutes. Afterwards you rinse off in the shower again and then you enjoy a 30 minute massage. It was recommended that I try the “Cranberry Vitamin Bomb”. This body wrap revitalises and moisturises. I lay down on the table in the capsule and then it was closed over top of me, leaving only my head exposed. The capsule has various

settings –shower, light therapy, music, infrared treatment, vibrating massage, and steam. The first step was a sugar scrub with cranberry pieces, and then the cranberry mask was applied, after the scrub had been rinsed off. The mask stayed on for 30 minutes; meanwhile the light therapy, infrared, and steam settings had been switched on. The vibrating massage was also very relaxing. Afterwards, the cranberry body cream was applied with a massage. I left the spa capsule feeling very clean and relaxed. The 90 minute procedure cost 55. ■

Many of us are embarrassed by our feet – ingrown nails, corns, and nail fungus can be not only humiliating, but painful too. And there is no reason you should be suffering, at Tiia Ilusalong, you are well looked after. Tiia Ilusalong differs from other nail care salons because they don’t cover up the problem, they fix it. Nail drills, proper treatments for problematic nails, and long foot massages are just some of the things that Tiia Ilusalong offers. The salon has been operating since 1993, and long running business and regular clients

(both international and local) are proof of the quality service Tiia Ilusalong provides. Their expert nail technicians assess the problem with the nail and can put a protective nail over the problematic area. Ingrown nails will also be cut out so that the nail can grow back properly. Tiia Ilusalong also has the only nail laser in Estonia, where after just four visits (in most cases) the nail fungus will be gone. “Unfortunately nail fungus doesn’t just go away. Often, a doctor will prescribe pills for this, but

those can be harmful to the liver”, explains Krislin, one of the salon’s nail technicians. The laser treatment is a safe an effective way to treat this common problem. Tiia Ilusalong takes cleanliness very seriously. All of the utensils,

like nail files and tweezers used are disinfected and sanitised, and everything else is used one time only. “Many foot problems start with improper care of your feet. We must remember to dry between our toes, cut our nails properly, and keep our feet moisturised. And most importantly, always wear sandals at public pools”, explains Krislin, as she examines my feet. “ After talking to Krislin, I was amazed at how many problems a small piece of nail can cause.

Ingrown nails are painful and can be easily treated however. Even corns, which keep some people from wearing sandals in summer, can be easily treated at Tiia Ilusalong, by applying a skin softener, and in extreme cases are cut out. A pedicure starts at 28 and lasts 1.5 hours. This includes, soaking, filing, exfoliating, moisturising, and your choice of nail polish. ■

Tallinn for kids TEXT KRISTINA LUPP, PHOTOS ANDREI CHERTKOV

There is no shortage of fun things to do for children and their families in the city.

Energy Discovery Centre (Energia Keskus) Põhja pst 29, Tallinn A2 Located in the Kalamaja district, the Energy Discovery Centre has 130 interactive exhibits that present the history of energy, nuclear energy, sound, and optics. The centre is housed in a renovated 100-yearold power plant.

Seaplane Harbour (Lennusadam) Vesilennuki 6, Tallinn The Seaplane Harbour or Lennusadam (as it is called in Estonian) is more than just a maritime museum. The largest exhibits are the ships and a submarine. Many of the exhibits are interactive so that for example, visitors can try navigating a ship in the dark Tallinn harbour. There is plenty to see and do for people of all ages and the building itself is worth seeing.

Tallinn Zoo Paldiski mnt.145 / Ehitajate tee 150, Tallinn There is a lot to see in the large zoo: hundreds of species of animals, everything from mammals to fish to birds. The Zoo is located in the Rocca al Mare district, and you should plan to be there for several hours, especially if you want to see all of the animals. The bus stops at the nearby shopping centre (one of the largest in Estonia).

Estonian Health Museum Lai 30, Tallinn Old Town A2 The newly renovated Health Museum is great fun for the whole family. It is filled with health related artefacts, interactive displays and many hands-on exhibits.

Estonian Puppet Theatre & NUKU Museum of Puppet Arts Lai 1/Nunne 8, Tallinn Old Town A1 Theatre performances are held everyday, but for the tourist, the museum is probably the most interesting attraction. The NUKU museum introduces the visitor to modern techniques using the history of the Puppet Theatre. See how theatre puppets are made professionally. There are puppets on display in the large exhibition room that have been used in theatre productions, as well as puppets that have been imported from around the world. Even the outside of the building has an interactive display window that features “The Steam Theatre,” which is activated by mobile phone.

There might not be anything better than a museum with a good café, and this is exactly what The Maiden Tower offers. With the weather getting cooler and nights a little bit longer, the museum café is a great place to spend an afternoon or evening. Neitsitorn is one of the 20 surviving towers of the Old Town’s fortification wall. The history of the tower (Meghede torne) dates back to the 1300s. The Maiden’s Tower was erected between 1370-1373 when the wall was built in the Danish King’s Garden. During the Livonian War (1558-1583), the tower was damaged and lost its military functions. From 1842-1960, the tower was used as a residence and was even home to one of Estonia’s top architects Karl Burman after World War II.

Each floor is designed differently and tells a story of its own. There is an exhibit in the basement, where you can watch a film about the history of the tower, or listen to the sad tale of the misfortunes of a 16th century Livonian maiden. The large window offers a panoramic view of Tallinn’s Old Town. ■

Location Lossiplats 11/Lühike jalg 9a, Tallinn Old Town A-B 1. Opening hours: Oct–April Sun–Thu 11.30 am–9.00 pm (last admission – 8.30 pm); on Fridays and Saturdays 11.30 am–10.00 pm (last admission – 9.30 pm) Exhibition open on Mon to Sun 10.30 am–6.30 pm. Closed on national holidays From 10.30 am–6.30 pm admission to the tower includes admission to the café and 10% discount on the bill.
