Veerenni - gallows hill, hospital and Luther Factory!
At first glance, the Veerenni area might not seem very attractive for exploration, but let's hold on a moment - this is where Tallinn's medieval gallows hill was located. Did you know that the Hanseatic city of centuries past used five methods to punish criminals: hanging, breaking wheel, being buried alive, decapitation by sword, and burning at the stake? Furthermore, it wasn't a random choice which horrifying method was used - we'll explore this grim topic directly in the epicenter of those historical events, Veerenni! But that's not all, as we'll also take a significant leap in time on the topic of crime and pass by the old Tallinn Prison, looking for the site where one of Estonia's last cinematic prison escapes took place. We will also explore lighter topics - Veerenni can be considered Estonia's oldest medical campus and the factory campus of one of our most powerful industrial companies of all time, the Luther Factory. Of course, we'll visit and talk about these as well.

"I’m one of those who has always dreamed of a truly remarkable birthday. Not the usual sit-around-the-table kind, but one that offers genuinely memorable experiences. Ideally something unexpected and exciting, so that even years later everyone would fondly remember, “Wow, that was amazing!” I soon realized that Matkafy Laternamatkad ticks every box on my wish list. Even though there are 55 different tours on the adventure list, I never hesitated to take my friends to the abandoned Murru prison, exploring the buildings and area where the saying truly fits: “If these walls could talk…” How often in life do you get the chance to walk among apocalyptic walls and experience the real stories hidden inside? When this long-awaited day finally arrived, I couldn’t hide my excitement and thrill. Everything was perfectly planned. Our guide Mihkel Reile received nothing but praise from the guests: “So humorous!”, “So knowledgeable!”, “Easily captures everyone’s attention”, “Where did they find such a charming guy?”, “Wow, how clearly and engagingly he tells stories!” In addition, for this tour that exceeded all expectations, a romantic birthday table was set up in a quiet wooded corner, tailored exactly to my wishes. This was the best birthday of my life! Honestly. A unique and adventurous tour, perfectly suited for any celebration and season."
