Sinimäed Hills
Sinimäed
The battlefield of the 1944 Battle of the Blue Mountains. Three small hills hold monuments and remnants of trenches that tell the story of the fierce fighting on the Eastern Front in World War II.
In July and August 1944, German and Soviet forces fought fierce battles on the three small Sinimäed hills west of Narva. Both sides suffered heavy losses. The engagement is known as the Battle of the Blue Mountains, and many Estonians who took part had been forced to fight on both sides. Today the hills have memorials, crosses and some remnants of trenches, with interpretive signs. The site involves sensitive historical memories, so please be respectful during your visit. Entry is free. It is beside the road between Narva and Sillamäe, about 20 km from Narva.
