Paldiski Church, reconstruction started

Paldiski church

Paldiski was nice resort on the beginning of 1900ies. It was closed by soviet military forces about 50 years. It is on Pakri peninsula on nice rocky banks. If You want to visit soviet time military ruins You can see them a lot near Paldiski and in the town. The largest military building is soviet army sea forces submarine training centre (in ruins now).
It's getting better all the time at the city and now You can find acceptable accommodation and some restaurants, marked hiking roads and boat trips to Pakri islands. There are two Islands near Paldiski -- Suur-pakri and Väike-Pakri. Last one is clear and marked with hiking routes, first one is less discovered and may have mines and bombs outside the official route (in 2002).
