EuroVelo 13 Iron Curtain Trail

Estonia

Estonia, the northernmost of the Baltic states, is among the least densely populated countries in Europe and boasts some beautiful natural landscapes. The Iron Curtain Trail follows the Estonian National Route 1 along the Baltic coast, apart from a 'shortcut' – avoiding the islands of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa – where instead it follows national route 11 through the Matsalu nature reserve. The Iron Curtain Trail also visits the country’s capital, Tallinn, of which the old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
