This adventurous cycling trip will take you to multifaced North Tallinn to explore Tallinn´s most exciting peninsula – Paljassaare. Cycle from the fearsome Patarei Prison to mysterious former slums and factories of Kopli, accompanied by contrasting views as you explore this diverse part of Tallinn which offers everything from nature and history to street art and hidden industrial ruins.

Cycling will start from the Patarei Prison, which was built as a part of Peter the Great´s Naval Fortress. From here you will continue to the Seaplane Harbour area, home to 20th century hangars, which are the world’s first reinforced concrete shell structures of such a great size and elegance.

Neighboring the unique Seaplane hangars is the trendy Noblessner Quarter, after strolling around there we will then continue to Paljasaare Nature Conservation Area to enjoy magnificent views of the reedbed, meadows and the sea. The scenic area is also closely related to our military heritage, until 1991 Paljassaare was held under military purpose, closed for civilians. Next destination will be the industrial area of Kopli. We will visit the Kopli „lines“, former miniature village for the working class employees of a big shipyard, and also look into fascinating premises of the Põhjala factory, an old rubber factory, now turned into a community center for creative minds. After touring in Kopli we will turn our bikes to the small streets of Kalamaja to admire the colorful wooden houses of former factory workers and fihermen, now a sought-after hipster area, before we end the tour at the starting location.
