On the edge of Estonia

Getting in

Jimmy took this.... from a distance ; )
Someone (I think on VT) said that crossing the Valka-Valga border is difficult and requires a taxi across the checkpoint or something.

Nothing of the sort- get off the bus, walk along the road to the checkpoint, queue up behind the little wooden bench, get your passport stamped and step over the bench.

Just a short walk to the Estonian checkpoint, and you're in Valga.

Secure parking

I can't imagine that many people would go to such extremes to protect their cars from the local population, but this one really looks worth taking care of...

Town centre

Valga isn't really the kind of place you think of as a town with a centre- you'd be forgiven for walking past the centre without noticing it.

This tower has some interesting history, which I'm reading up on at the moment. I'll add info to this when I get the chance.
