Turba and Ellamaa - capital of air disasters!
Fortunately, planes don't crash very often. Yet, there is a small village in Estonia where it has happened three times - a true capital of aviation disasters! We'll talk about these accidents on the tour, the Soviet-era Ämari Air Base as their backdrop. However, Turba and Ellamaa also have a renowned past in other ways, as they once supplied a quarter of Estonia with electricity. A place that's been dubbed Estonia's most beautiful industrial settlement, where, in addition to the power plant and the peat industry, we can tell the story of a rural settlement from its origins to the present day - there's no doubt that every village has its own stories and its own heroes. On this tour, we'll observe the peat fields and the peat industry, talk about the curiosities of Estonia's electrification, and walk on the embankment of the former Haapsalu railway, which made all this glory possible. Also, in what way were Stalin and Hitler in a staredown in Turba, long ago in the Soviet times?
