First we have to refuel today. To do this, we drive back to # 1 and find a gas station in good time. A little further on, # 105 goes north. We reach the south-western end of the Oru parkswhere there is also a parking lot. Parking € 2.

Our next destination is Narva-Jõesuu. We drive on # 1, then on # 91. In front of the center we look for a parking lot. But it's difficult to drive here at all. There are construction sites and blocked roads everywhere. There are several parking spaces in the center, but all of them have to be paid for via mobile phone.

I have no idea how it works and I don't want to pay on my cell phone either. We keep on searching. There must be a parking lot with a machine on it! Nothing - we can't find one. At some point we'll have enough and drive out of town towards Narva.

The route runs along the border river Narva.

We drive to a parking lot with a T-34 tank as a memorial. It is supposed to commemorate World War II.

2 Germans also visit the monument. The two men flew to Tallinn. From there they have been cycling since then and now want to continue to St. Petersburg.

Since the sky is getting very dark, they set off again immediately. We retreat to the motorhome and first of all enjoy a coffee.

We reach Narva and park in front of the town hall. I look around skeptically to see if there's a sign somewhere or a parking meter to be seen. In the end I speak to someone and ask about parking fees. He only speaks Russian, but I can still make him understand what I want to know. No, parking is actually free here.

We approach the fortress and have to shelter there in the archway. The black clouds have caught up with us and it is pouring out of buckets.

Some others also seek refuge here. You apparently belong to a wedding party.

Der Regen lässt nach und wir sehen uns die Hermannsfestung genauer an. Auf der anderen Flussseite liegt das russische Gegenstück Ivangorod.

Die Aussicht von hier ist toll. Auch die Alexanderkirche ist von hier aus zu sehen.

All around us are wedding couples with their guests and they all meet here at the castle.

We move on to see something of the city.

Past the Swedish lion we reach the Alexander Church (1881-1884).

From the outside it is pretty to look at. Inside it corresponds to a construction site. The ceilings are supported with beams, everything is gray and ugly. Nevertheless, services are held here.

Wir machen uns auf den Rückweg. Am Parkplatz angekommen, schauen wir uns das Rathaus noch genauer an.

Unserem Wagen gegenüber steht ein Wohnmobil. Das kennen wir doch... und tatsächlich, es ist das Wohnmobil der Münchner. Die sind denn auch anwesend und ein kleiner Plausch wird gehalten.

The people of Munich want to go straight to Lake Peipus, but we want to make a stopover at Metsküla, as there should be a beautiful hiking trail there.

We drive back via # 1 to just before Jõhvi and turn onto # 32. There should be a campsite on the way. We also find the sign and turn off accordingly. But then there is no more sign and we drive deeper and deeper into the forest. At some point it is enough, we must have long since reached the square from the km indication. We turn around and drive back to # 32. There is no more space posted to the south to the lake. Along the lake it goes on the # 111 until shortly before Kauksi. Here we turn onto the Sälliku-Kuru. We'll find a little onecampsiteand set us up.

Next to us is a Unimog, the first vehicle of its kind that we see in Estonia.

After dinner we take a short walk to the lake.
