Karula National Park

Original title: Karula rahvuspark

2005 | Overviews, Documentary, Nature | Director: Anne-Mari Neider

Documentary about Karula National Park located by the southern border of Estonia.

Karula National Park is situated almost on the southern border of Estonia, far away from big towns. It is a small world – one landscape, one forest, and one parish. The Karula landscape came into being 12 thousand years ago. Estonia was then covered with thick ice, which started to melt and therefore created several unusual shapes of landscape such as the rounded hills, stretched eskers, and ice flow melting slopes. All these forms make Karula almost a textbook example of an ice age-shaped landscape.

Documentary about the situation in Paldiski and Pakri islands after the Soviet army left Estonia in 1994.

After the Bases Agreement that was imposed on Estonia by the Soviet Union in 1939, Paldiski became a Soviet military base. In the beginning, after the World War 2, the town was also open to local Estonians; however, the decision that was made in 1962 to establish a training center for Soviet nuclear-powered submariners made Paldiski a closed military town for 30 years. In 1968, the training center started to educate the crew members of nuclear-powered submarines. 1968. aastal hakati õppekeskuses koolitama välja aatomiallveelaevade ekipaaže.
