The village of Viivikonna, Estonia


Visited by jonahi 16.8.2011. The almost-ghost-village of Viivikonna, near Sillamäe, is full of abandoned houses and industrial buildings. It was once a living oil shale mining town, but nowadays the oil shale is gone and only a couple of people and deserted villas keep on struggling there. I wish we could've been there a little bit earlier, because it was getting dark and very uncomfortable for exploring around.
