Toila-Oru Park
Toila-Oru park
A historic garden on a coastal cliff that was once the summer palace of the Estonian president. Forest paths lead to the river valley and the Gulf of Finland.
Oru Park is located in the town of Toila. In the late 19th century, a St. Petersburg merchant named Yelisseyev developed the estate and gardens. In the 1930s it became the Estonian presidential summer residence. The palace was destroyed in the Second World War, but the stepped terraces, grottoes, the Silver Spring and forest paths remain. The Pühajõgi River runs through the park and flows into the Gulf of Finland, and along the banks you can see the Baltic cliffs. Entry is free, and there is a seaside spa hotel nearby. It is about 50 km from Narva, roughly 40 minutes by car.
