Tahkuna Peninsula Batteries

On the north coast of Hiiumaa, Tahkuna peninsula used to be a Soviet Army base and was closed off to the public. The central attraction is a fire conducting tower which was used to aim guns on distant targets. It is possible to climb into the tower. Several bunkers and batteries can also be visited, take a torch light...
