The nature of Ida-Virumaa, Soviet era industrial landscapes and the city of Narva

Ida-Viru County is an exciting and unique corner of Estonia, where one can see an architectural heritage originating from the Soviet era, abandoned mining settlements and surreal industrial landscapes surrounded, however, by the largest forest and bog massifs in Estonia.
