Tour to the Paljassaare Special Protection Area

This area draws birds with its excellent resting and feeding opportunities, provided by its varied landscape and its location on the birds' migratory route.

Both the Reedbed Tower and the White Tower offer a magnificent view of the reedbed, meadows, shrubs, and the sea. With binoculars, you can see seagulls, various ducks, oystercatchers, and even western marsh harriers.Fresh winds, open expanses, and the sweet but sorrowful cry of seagulls – the walking paths of Northern Tallinn take you on an exploration trip to the only bird protection area of the city.

Here, only a few kilometers from the noisy city, you can wander on the empty beaches and the secret trails of ornithology enthusiasts, have a picnic on a windy coastal meadow, and meditate by the blue sea that stretches to the horizon.

The activity starts from Balti Jaam - Central railway station (can be changed), from there we will take a bus to Paljassaare. The bus ticket costs 2eur for adult. The bus ride takes around 25 minutes. From there we will walk around the area.
