It forms a part of the EuroVelo Cycling Route No. 10, which runs along the Baltic Sea.<\/span><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">Cyclists arriving from Latvia find a cosy coastal road to lead them from Ikla to H\u00e4\u00e4demeeste; on approach to P\u00e4rnu, however, they must also turn onto a highway. In P\u00e4rnu, titled as the summer capital of Estonia, bikers can enjoy an easy atmosphere and various cultural events. The leg from P\u00e4rnu to Virtsu runs along roads with little traffic in a pleasurable natural environment. We strongly recommend an at least one-day detour to Kihnu Island.<\/span><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">While the approach to Virtsu has to be made on some twenty kilometres of gravelled roads you will be rewarded by several nature reserves and bird paradises in the background.<\/span><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">The best part of this route are islands, such as Muhu, Saaremaa and Hiiumaa, which draw bikers in droves. Their offer scenic sites with a great natural diversity, a string of thrilling tourist attractions and memorable moments of meeting people. The road conditions of the route are good except for some sections of gravel roads in the north of Saaremaa, which are dusty.\u00a0<\/span><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">Apart from the main route, we definitely recommend detours to the outmost corners of the plentiful peninsulas, in particular to routes No. 301 and 302 in Hiiumaa.<\/span><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">After returning to the mainland, it is worthwhile to look around in Haapsalu before the trip takes you to areas once populated with Swedes \u2013 Noarootsi Peninsula and the forests of N\u00f5va. Unfortunately, the coastal roads there are fairly bumpy, yet the discomfort is offset by the natural environment, which is relatively pristine.\u00a0<\/span><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">Paldiski is a living memorial of the Soviet rule. Once closed for outsiders, the town and its numerous vestiges of military facilities, while having a depressing effect, are interesting to look at.\u00a0<\/span><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">The lap from Paldiski to Tallinn runs on asphalt roads lined with fabulous views of the sea, the steep limestone bluff and the forest. Closer to Tallinn the traffic turns disturbingly dense yet you have to put up with it until a special bicycle road is completed.\u00a0<\/span><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">Those interested in cities may have a longer stop in Tallinn for sightseeing. Tallinn\u2019s Old Town is one of the pearls of Europe.<\/span><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">As the journey continues from Tallinn to Narva, the first twenty or so kilometres along the main road have little to offer for the eye. Closer to the tourist magnet of North Estonia \u2013 Lahemaa National Park \u2013 we again enter a landscape that is very attractive to tourists. While the bike route leading to the remotest corners of the peninsulas comprises some 20 km of gravel roads it passes through fascinating places.\u00a0<\/span><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">Past Lahemaa towards Narva the route proceeds parallel to the coast, occasionally opening up matchless vistas. In the Purtse area the route takes to narrow gravel and dirt roads, the only alternative to the heavy traffic of the highway. Outside Sillam\u00e4e you still have to pedal a short stretch or two on the highway. The places of interest are the Stalinist-style industrial city of Sillam\u00e4e, the formerly famous holiday resort Narva-J\u00f5esuu and the border city of Narva.\u00a0<\/span><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">Narva is the end point of the Estonian section of the EuroVelo route. Before you continue into Russia, take heed of the fact that the infrastructure for cycling has yet to be developed there.<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/www.openstreetmap.org\/?relation=122848 General presentation Bike Route No. 1 in Estonia follows the Estonian coastline.

It forms a part of the EuroVelo Cycling Route No. 10, which runs along the Baltic Sea.<\/span><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">Cyclists arriving from Latvia find a cosy coastal road to lead them from Ikla to H\u00e4\u00e4demeeste; on approach to P\u00e4rnu, however, they must also turn onto a highway. In P\u00e4rnu, titled as the summer capital of Estonia, bikers can enjoy an easy atmosphere and various cultural events. The leg from P\u00e4rnu to Virtsu runs along roads with little traffic in a pleasurable natural environment. We strongly recommend an at least one-day detour to Kihnu Island.<\/span><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">While the approach to Virtsu has to be made on some twenty kilometres of gravelled roads you will be rewarded by several nature reserves and bird paradises in the background.<\/span><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">The best part of this route are islands, such as Muhu, Saaremaa and Hiiumaa, which draw bikers in droves. Their offer scenic sites with a great natural diversity, a string of thrilling tourist attractions and memorable moments of meeting people. The road conditions of the route are good except for some sections of gravel roads in the north of Saaremaa, which are dusty.\u00a0<\/span><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">Apart from the main route, we definitely recommend detours to the outmost corners of the plentiful peninsulas, in particular to routes No. 301 and 302 in Hiiumaa.<\/span><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">After returning to the mainland, it is worthwhile to look around in Haapsalu before the trip takes you to areas once populated with Swedes \u2013 Noarootsi Peninsula and the forests of N\u00f5va. Unfortunately, the coastal roads there are fairly bumpy, yet the discomfort is offset by the natural environment, which is relatively pristine.\u00a0<\/span><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">Paldiski is a living memorial of the Soviet rule. Once closed for outsiders, the town and its numerous vestiges of military facilities, while having a depressing effect, are interesting to look at.\u00a0<\/span><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">The lap from Paldiski to Tallinn runs on asphalt roads lined with fabulous views of the sea, the steep limestone bluff and the forest. Closer to Tallinn the traffic turns disturbingly dense yet you have to put up with it until a special bicycle road is completed.\u00a0<\/span><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">Those interested in cities may have a longer stop in Tallinn for sightseeing. Tallinn\u2019s Old Town is one of the pearls of Europe.<\/span><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">As the journey continues from Tallinn to Narva, the first twenty or so kilometres along the main road have little to offer for the eye. Closer to the tourist magnet of North Estonia \u2013 Lahemaa National Park \u2013 we again enter a landscape that is very attractive to tourists. While the bike route leading to the remotest corners of the peninsulas comprises some 20 km of gravel roads it passes through fascinating places.\u00a0<\/span><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">Past Lahemaa towards Narva the route proceeds parallel to the coast, occasionally opening up matchless vistas. In the Purtse area the route takes to narrow gravel and dirt roads, the only alternative to the heavy traffic of the highway. Outside Sillam\u00e4e you still have to pedal a short stretch or two on the highway. The places of interest are the Stalinist-style industrial city of Sillam\u00e4e, the formerly famous holiday resort Narva-J\u00f5esuu and the border city of Narva.\u00a0<\/span><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><br style=\"font-size: 13px;\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">Narva is the end point of the Estonian section of the EuroVelo route. Before you continue into Russia, take heed of the fact that the infrastructure for cycling has yet to be developed there.<\/span><\/div>","pwapp_post_content_type":"postprocessed","pwapp_preview_type":"excerpt","androapp_failover_post_content_type":"","share_text":"EE1: Estonia Baltic Sea coast route (National Route No. 1, EuroVelo 10 and 13)\nvia https:\/\/velovilnius.lt\/balticcycle\/en\/deutsch-ee1-estnische-kustenroute\/","supercache":"androappsupercache","post_categories":[{"id":1,"count":447,"description":"","name":"Uncategorized","slug":"uncategorized","parent":0}],"post_tags":[{"id":272,"count":10,"description":"","name":"[:en]Cycling in Estonia[:de]Radfahren in Estland[:]","slug":"estonia","parent":0},{"id":452,"count":4,"description":"Ostseek\u00fcstenradweg \/ Baltic Sea Circuit","name":"[:en]EuroVelo 10 - Baltic Sea Circuit[:de]EuroVelo 10 - Ostseek\u00fcstenradweg[:]","slug":"ev10","parent":0},{"id":453,"count":5,"description":"","name":"[:en]EuroVelo13 - Iron Curtain Trail[:de]EuroVelo13 - Fahrradroute am \"Eisernen Vorhang\"[:]","slug":"ev13","parent":0},{"id":279,"count":2,"description":"","name":"bike map Estonia","slug":"bike-map-estonia","parent":0},{"id":278,"count":2,"description":"","name":"EE1","slug":"ee1","parent":0},{"id":174,"count":2,"description":"","name":"eurovelo 10","slug":"eurovelo-10","parent":0},{"id":275,"count":4,"description":"","name":"riga-tallinn","slug":"riga-tallinn","parent":0}],"post_author":"admin","post_author_avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/b9db3db7b44d07cc869eb13533e034682ef5df97109b6a95acc79a320c1d6404?s=24&d=mm&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/b9db3db7b44d07cc869eb13533e034682ef5df97109b6a95acc79a320c1d6404?s=48&d=mm&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/b9db3db7b44d07cc869eb13533e034682ef5df97109b6a95acc79a320c1d6404?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"post_comment_count":0,"image":"https:\/\/velovilnius.lt\/balticcycle\/files\/2013\/09\/109-381x267.jpg","thumb":"https:\/\/velovilnius.lt\/balticcycle\/files\/2013\/09\/109-100x70.jpg","thumb_medium":"https:\/\/velovilnius.lt\/balticcycle\/files\/2013\/09\/109-300x210.jpg","images":{"medium_large":"https:\/\/velovilnius.lt\/balticcycle\/files\/2013\/09\/109.jpg","1536x1536":"https:\/\/velovilnius.lt\/balticcycle\/files\/2013\/09\/109.jpg","2048x2048":"https:\/\/velovilnius.lt\/balticcycle\/files\/2013\/09\/109.jpg","woocommerce_thumbnail":"https:\/\/velovilnius.lt\/balticcycle\/files\/2013\/09\/109-200x200.jpg","woocommerce_single":"https:\/\/velovilnius.lt\/balticcycle\/files\/2013\/09\/109.jpg","woocommerce_gallery_thumbnail":"https:\/\/velovilnius.lt\/balticcycle\/files\/2013\/09\/109-100x100.jpg"},"post_title":"[:de]EE1: Estnische K\u00fcstenroute (Nationale Fahrradroute Nr. 1, EuroVelo 10 und 13)[:en]EE1: Estonia Baltic Sea coast route (National Route No. 1, EuroVelo 10 and 13)[:]","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/velovilnius.lt\/balticcycle\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/velovilnius.lt\/balticcycle\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/velovilnius.lt\/balticcycle\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/velovilnius.lt\/balticcycle\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/velovilnius.lt\/balticcycle\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=311"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/velovilnius.lt\/balticcycle\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5990,"href":"https:\/\/velovilnius.lt\/balticcycle\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311\/revisions\/5990"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/velovilnius.lt\/balticcycle\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/238"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/velovilnius.lt\/balticcycle\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/velovilnius.lt\/balticcycle\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/velovilnius.lt\/balticcycle\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
