entrance of the city

The present church dates back to 1741 when the Russian Empress Elizabeth donated 8,000 rubles for the construction of a new church in Pärnu; hence the church was named after the Empress. Construction began in 1744 and the building was completed in 1747 under the direction of the master builder J. H. Güterbock from Riga. The church tower, however, was not completed until 1750.

This pedestrian zone was anything but busy. Perhaps it was the time of year? Many houses were abandoned or surrounded by construction fences. There were a few nice shops, but it seemed as if they had replaced this pedestrian zone with a nicer and newer one a few streets further toward the river.

Pärnu's classic wooden houses are more than just pretty facades - they are living testaments to the city's history. Many of these buildings date from the 18th and 19th centuries, when Pärnu flourished as a major port and spa town. Their architecture reflects the influence of the Hanseatic period and Scandinavian styles, which have long played a major role in Baltic architecture. These wooden houses survived wars, occupations and even the Soviet era, when many historic buildings were left to decay. Thanks to careful restorations in recent decades, they now shine in their former glory and testament to the city's resilience. The restored timber-framed buildings and ornamentation are not only decorative, but also express the traditional crafts that have been cultivated here for generations. As you stroll through the streets, you feel the connection to the past. It's easy to imagine how merchants and craftsmen once conducted their business here as carriages rolled over the cobblestones. Today, history mixes with modern life, and the wooden houses provide an atmospheric backdrop for the small cafes, boutiques and galleries that are housed within them.

Pärnu's former town hall immediately catches the eye - not only because of its yellow facade, but also because of the magnificent entrance door with its detailed decorations. Strolling through the narrow streets, it seems as if time passes a little slower here. You can feel the breath of history as you pass the elegant columned entrance and imagine how the town's business was once conducted here. The building has served as the center of town life since the 18th century and has undergone many transformations. Today it houses a gallery that reflects the artistic spirit of the town. It is worth stopping for a short while to take a closer look at the historic lanterns and the intricately carved woodwork. While the surrounding area has been modernized, the town hall has retained its classic charm, and the cobblestone streets around it are lined with small cafes that invite you to linger.

Pärnu's pedestrian zone, with its colorful house facades and old cobblestone streets, invites you to take a relaxing stroll. The mix of lovingly restored buildings and small shops creates a pleasant atmosphere that stands out clearly from the modern shopping streets. Strolling here, you might easily get the impression that time has stood still – partly due to Pärnu's rich heritage, which can still be felt today in the small details of the streets and alleys. The proximity to the narrow-gauge railway monument, which commemorates the historic Valga–Ruhja–Pärnu railway, is interesting. This railway line, opened over a century ago, not only brought economic prosperity but also shaped the cityscape. Today, the old train is an eye-catcher and highlights the importance of rail for the region. Here, history meets the present, and the walk becomes a short journey back in time. It's worth taking a break in one of the cafés or small shops along the street and soaking up the lively atmosphere.

The city gate is a striking relic from the days when Pärnu was surrounded by massive fortifications. Built in the 17th century, it was part of the Swedish bastion fortifications that were designed to protect the city from enemies. Today, the gate stands like a silent sentinel, telling of the old days when soldiers stood guard here and merchants walked the cobbled streets with their goods. As you pass through the gate, you can feel history beneath your feet, while the imposing arches take you back in time. Right next to the old moat that once served as a defensive structure, you have the opportunity to pause and trace the traces of the past - a striking contrast to the modern city that stretches beyond the walls.

The Elisabeth Church exudes a special atmosphere that you feel as soon as you enter. The crucifix decorated with shell symbols at the entrance indicates that this church is also a place of pilgrimage. Since its consecration in 1750, it has collected many stories within its old walls, which are reflected in the weathered details and the ornate altarpiece. Inside there is a calming silence, only the light falling through the windows enlivens the room in an almost magical way. It is as if time passes more slowly here and you can feel a touch of eternity amidst the thick stone walls. The church invites you to pause for a moment and take in the historical charm.

Good overview and shelter from the rain.

At first glance, this section is less interesting because you can't see any clear water surface. At second glance, you can see small, bizarrely grown pine trees, tiny pink flowers in the moss and very small butterflies.

The circular trail is only about 4.8 km long - if you take the loop to the river. There is a parking lot right on the road at the trailhead and there are toilets a few meters further on. In June 2024 the boardwalk was in excellent condition, but unfortunately we didn't see any animals and the weather was bad.

This first pool area is accessible by wheel chair/pram. When we were there, we saw few people, and both pools felt very private (especially compared to the Viru bog route in Lahemaa National Park) :)

There is a beautiful city gate in Palin, Tallinn City Gate. Is located in a beautiful park.
