Suurpea opens the door to a place where, just a few decades ago, outsiders had no business. Walking through the former Soviet military garrison, you hear stories of the Cold War, the closed border zone, and the hundreds of people who lived and worked here in the past. Abandoned military facilities and modern village life create a unique contrast that helps to understand Lahemaa’s complex recent history. A local café offers refreshment. This is a tour for those interested in history, military heritage, and places where the past is still clearly visible.
