  • There Are Many Churches and Chapels That Are of Interest in the Eastern Part of Harju County, Which All Pilgrims Should Take a Look At
    There are many churches and chapels that are of interest in the eastern part of Harju County, which all pilgrims should take a look at. The routes are recommended, and largely run away from major highways, allowing visitors the enjoyment of Harjumaa’s beautiful sights, all of its natural and cultural sights and its fishing villages and new settlements, life on mainland and life on small islands. The choice of transport is up to the pilgrim. You can travel on foot or by bicycle. There are places that you can reach by train. The most convenient option is to travel by car, but the areas around the capital have a good network of cycle and pedestrian tracks which is excellent for travelling by bicycle. PILGRIMAGE ROUTES IN EAST HARJUMAA ROUTE Tallinn-Viru Square - Viimsi Peninsula - Maardu - Jõelähtme Municipality - Kuusalu Town - Leesi & Juminda Peninsula - Loksa City - Viinistu Village - Raasiku Town - Pikva Village - Kose Town - Jüri Town - Kostivere - Tallinn Tallinn The pilgrimage to Harjumaa starts in Tallinn, and first of all we recommend heading towards Viimsi Peninsula. You can take bus No. 1 from the bus terminal in Viru Keskus in the heart of Tallinn or go by bicycle, on foot, or by car. When you start your journey, you will first have to use Pirita Road to reach the small town of Haabneeme, and thereafter you travel towards Püünsi. If you travel by bicycle, you can use the bicycle and pedestrian track. The entire Viimsi Peninsula is covered with bicycle and pedestrian tracks and the peninsula is very safe to travel around.

  • KALLAVERE FORMATION on the NORTH ESTONIAN KLINT (Part I - Paldiski-Kunda Area)
    LITHOLOGY OF THE KALLAVERE FORMATION ON THE NORTH ESTONIAN KLINT (Part I - Paldiski-Kunda area) HELJO HEINSALU AND REIN RAUDSEP Heinsalu, H. and Raudsep, R. Lithology of the Kallavere Formation on the North Estonian Klint (Part I- Paldiski-Kunda area). - Bull. of the Geological Survey of Estonia, 8/1, 20-31. In North Estonia the Kallavere Formation corresponds to the Cambrian-Ordovician boundary beds, the major part of which belongs to the lower Tremadoc. The stratigraphical range of the Kallavere Formation is variable: in the western part of the klint (North-Estonian cliff) it represents the lower half of the Pakerort Stage, in the east the whole stage. The Kallavere Formation is subdivided into five members: Maardu, Suurj5gi, Katela, Rannu and Orasoja. Three members - Maardu, Suurj5gi and Katela - occur in the western klint area, the eastern boundary of which coincides with the surroundings of Kunda. Part II of the article (eastern part of the klint) will be continued. Key words: lithology, Obolus sandstone, Kallavere Formation, Cambrian-Ordovician boundary beds, Estonia.

  • The New Territorial Pattern in Estonia
    The New Territorial Pattern in Estonia VEIKO SEPP Factors that affected the new administrative-territorial organisation of municipalities The new map of Estonian municipalities emerged from the cumu- lative effect of various factors. At the most general level, these can be grouped into national and local factors. As far the national factors are concerned, the Administrative Reform Act and the criteria for the minimum and recommended popula- tion size of a municipality stipulated in the Act definitely stand out as the most important, as these and the geographical distribution of the popu- lation shaped the general territorial layout of the new municipalities. 599 With some new municipalities, the decisive factor may also have been their compatibility with the exemption conditions stipulated by law. To begin with, the Act allowed for creating a municipality with a popu- lation size falling below the minimum criterion in sparsely populated regions with a total area of at least 900 square kilometres, provided that it had at least 3,500 residents (Article 9(3)1)). This exemption was used very little during the voluntary merger stage – only the merger of Alutaguse and Saarde rural municipalities during the voluntary stage corresponds to this exemption, although the government later initiated merger proceedings also for these rural municipalities. The effect of the so-called Setomaa exemption (Article 9(3)2) of the Administrative Reform Act) on the new administrative division is more complex, as the rural municipalities concerned did not use the option described in the Act to form the Setomaa rural municipality during the voluntary merger stage.

  • Kehra Kool 1918-1945 30
    Kehra kool 1918-1945 30. nov. 1918 teatas Eesti Ajutine Valitsus oma deklaratsioonis haridusala korraldamise kohta, et rahvahariduses tuleb kõigepealt lõpetada venestamise ja saksastamise katsed. 1 29. nov. 1918. aasta tunniplaanis on veel saksa keel, aga samas on ka koolijuhataja A. Liigmanni märkus, et saksa keele asemele on võetud eesti keel. Küsimusele, missugused suured puudused on koolimajal, vastas koolijuhataja A. Liigmann: "Kitsas, pime, umbne, külm, niiske." 1878. aastal ehitatud koolimaja ei olnud enam sobiv õppetööks. Kehra 4-klassiline algkool asus alates 1. novembrist 1919. aastal Kehra raudteejaama lähedale, põhja poole raudteed, majja, mis oli ehitatud 1914. aastal. Maja hävis II maailmasõja ajal. Praegu, aastal 2000, asub sellel kohal Tallinn - Kehra autobussi lõpp-peatus. Kooli tüüp oli avalik algkool, õppekeel oli eesti keel. Koolis oli 4 põhiklassi. I ja II, III ja IV klassid olid ühendatud ühte klassikomplekti.
