A Relive video of my little hike today. It was good to get outside of Tallinn for a while and also to wander around without a planned route.
Today I visited the territory of an abandoned Soviet-era S-200 missile base in #Pahkla. I managed to wander around for an hour and a half before the rain started. #hiking #Estonia

Happy launch anniversary to ESA's Hera mission! 🎂🥳
