After almost 3 hours by bus I arrived in Narva. Here, for the first time in the journey, I started to find snow.
To start getting an idea of the places and views that I was able to admire, I invite you to watch the video below containing the most significant images of this experience.
Narva: border town
Why can I say Narva is a border town? As you could see from the previous video (or in the following photo), the river forms the border with Russia: the left side is Narva, i.e. Estonia, the right side of the river is Ivangorod, i.e. Russia.
Snow can’t stop real travelers
After reaching the accommodation and leaving my luggage, I immediately headed towards the center. I wanted to take advantage of the light again to be able to capture some interesting glimpses. And also take advantage of the fact that it wasn’t snowing very hard (then it even stopped). In fact, I headed towards the center and then changed direction and went to one of the most famous places (if not the place): the castle of Hermann (Hermanni linnus).
Hermann Castle
There, in the fortress area, as you could see in the previous video, I took several shots. Moments captured both inside the castle and in the surrounding area, on the river side of Estonia. I went as far as the Alexander Cathedral (Narva Aleksandri Suurkirik) to also capture views from the top of both the fortress and the surrounding landscape.
Walk in the promenade
Continuing towards the photographic point of Narva Joaoru linnus-asula, I also found a bench :D
I ended the day of sightseeing by continuing on the Promenaad, passing under the Narva-Ivangorod friendship bridge (Мост Дружба Нарва-Ивангород). Continuing the walk, I stopped to observe Päikese väljak. This is the rotunda that I immortalized together with the fountain of lights, as you saw in the previous video.
From Narva to Tallinn by train
After a night (and partly in the morning) of rest to recover my strength, I took my friends luggage and headed to the Narva train station. Yes, I also tried the Estonian train!
