Paljassaare poolsaar

The guide to Paljassaare poolsaar, a reclaimed peninsula on Tallinn's edge, opens on its quiet boardwalk through the reed beds before turning to a violent crime committed here in June 1998, one of a series that spring. It traces the peninsula's own reinvention, first built up from dredged harbor mud and now a protected home to more than two hundred bird species. Listen for oystercatchers and Arctic terns where the boardwalk ends.
