Begin your tour in Tallinn and roam the magnificent medieval streets of the Estoni- an capital’s Old Town. Delve into the city’s treasure trove of gastronomic delights before trekking out to Lahemaa National Park. The electric university town of Tartu awaits; then skip south into Latvia to take in the crumbling castles of Cēsis and Sigulda in Gauja National Park. Spend the night at one of the posh manor houses (muižas) nearby, then plough through to reach Rīga, home to a dizzying array of decorated facades. Next, head south to Rundāle to visit the opulent palace – the Baltic’s version of Versailles – built by the architect responsible for St Petersburg’s Winter Palace. From Rundāle, hop the border into Lithuania and stop for a poignant look at the Hill of Crosses in Šiauliai before shooting west to Curonian Spit. Spend some time amid the traditional cottages, shifting sand dunes and endless pine forest before a stopover in lively Kaunas and end- ing your trip in flamboyant, baroque Vilnius. 31 Helsinki Lahemaa É National Park D #_ #÷ •#Rakvere É É TALLINN É Hiiumaa •# •# Haapsalu ESTONIA É •# Mustvee•# Saaremaa•# Muhu É •#Pärnu •# Tartu PLAN YOUR TRIP Cape É GOTLAND •#Kolka É Ventspils•# É •# Valga/ É Cēsis Valka •# Kuldīga •# Gauja RUSSIA É É •##÷ •# National Park Pāvilosta•# Jūrmala #_• Sigulda Liepāja•# RĪGA LATVIA É IT Palanga Žemaitija •# #÷ National Park I Klaipėda •# NERAR É LITHUANIA Curonian Spit •# É Aukštaitija National Park •#Visaginas I #÷ ES É É RUSSIA #_ BELARUS Traai •# Castle VILNIUS P O L A N D 4 WEEKS The Grand Tour With a month, you can roster in beach time, hiking excursions and visits to the region’s little towns – and even fit in a side trip to Helsinki. Start in Lithuania’s beautiful capital Vilnius, spending two days wandering the cobblestone streets, checking out Gediminas Hill and taking in the city’s historical charms. If nuclear tourism is your bag, do a day trip to Visaginas and the Ignalina nuclear power station, then spend a day or two cycling and paddling in Aukštaitija National Park. Visit Trakai Castle before heading west towards the sea. Stop at Žemaitija National Park for a quick lesson in Soviet missile tactics, before relaxing along the dune-filled shores of Curonian Spit. Follow the Baltic Sea up through the port city of Klaipėda and family-friendly Palanga resort to reach the Latvian border. Over the border is Liepāja, famous for its gilded cathedral and hulking Soviet tene- ments. Weather permitting, head north to surfside Pāvilosta before detouring inland to the picturesque village of Kuldīga. Continue to the lovely long sands of Ventspils, stay- ing overnight before hitting windy and wild Cape Kolka. Follow the coast as it snakes past forests and quiet villages to the spa retreat of Jūrmala – a hotspot for Russian tycoons and an excellent pit stop. From here Rīga is only a short hop. After two days in the Latvian capital, cross into Estonia to sunbathe in Pärnu. Move west to hop between the forested islands of Muhu, Saaremaa and Hiiumaa. Stop for lunch and a castle visit in Haapsalu before continuing to Tallinn. Allow at least three days to take in the Estonian capital’s treasures before ferrying over to Helsinki for a night. Back in Estonia, stop overnight in Lahemaa National Park before heading through spa-heavy Rakvere and Mustvee, on the shores of Lake Peipsi, to Tartu for a night or two. Check out the oddball border town of Valga/Valka, and stop in the charming Latvian town of Cēsis to wander among the fortress ruins. Sample Gauja National Park, and in Sigulda go bobsledding and bungee jumping.

  • Late Medieval Hypocausts with Heat Storage in Estonia
    Andres Tvauri LATE MEDIEVAL HYPO CAUSTS WITH HEAT STORAGE IN ESTONIA INTRODUCTION As often happens with archaeologists, the stimulus for writing this article was a discovery unexpectedly brought to light from under the ground. In autumn 2007, I had the opportunity to study a large medieval heat storage furnace (Figs. 1 and 2) constituting the central part of the hot air heating system, or hypo caust, of a former grooms’ building. It was unexpectedly unearthed in the course of construction work in the outer bailey of the medieval Order Castle of Viljandi.1 The furnace found in the Viljandi Castle was a nice but, in the context of Estonian medieval fi nds, rather ordinary discovery. In Old Livonia, roughly corresponding to the territory of present-day Estonia and Latvia, hot air heating systems in which the core was a furnace fi lled with large stones, making it possible to store heat and rid oneself of the need to con- stantly heat the furnace or the fi replace, was used in the 13th to the 16th centuries before the introduction of Dutch tile stoves in castles, monas- teries and in residential and public buildings in towns. Starting in the 1930s, such furnaces, or their archaeologically studied remains, have been found in numerous medieval buildings in Estonia. The furnace found in Viljandi induced me to look for literature about hypo causts with heat storage. With the assistance of my colleague Erki Russow, the most thorough paper on medieval hot air heating systems ever written soon landed on my desk – a thesis published by the Ger- man researcher Klaus Bingenheimer in 1998, Die Luftheizungen des Mittelalters.
