Hirvepark, Tallinn

Great little park to sit down and rest your legs or just walk around to get some peace and quite from the city noise. Great to watch some really remarkable trees close to the Linda Statue. By the way 102 different species of tree grow here. In the park you will find also kids playground.

Hirve Park is one of the most dendrologically diverse parks in Tallinn, and certainly one with an interesting history: it is considered one of the symbols of the restoration of Estonia’s independence. It was here that in 1987 people came to openly protest against the Soviet occupation for the first time, presenting the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact between Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany. Famous nationalist meetings were held here calling for Estonia’s freedom and playing a huge role in changing the country’s history.
