Kohtuotsa viewing platform
Open-air lookout on a hilltop, framing red rooftops, a soaring church spire, and the sea beyond.
From the Kohtuotsa platform in Tallinn, this guide starts with a lightning fire that tore through Saint Olaf's spire below in 1625, and the old explanation locals had ready: the spire was cursed. It then tells the legend of a stranger named Olev, who offered to build the tallest church on the Baltic coast for no payment except one condition, that the city guess his name before he set the final stone. You'll hear how a spy caught a mother's lullaby drifting through an open window, giving away the one thing the city needed to know. Stand at the rail and look down at the same red rooftops and spire while you listen.
