Pakri lighthouse.
 
Walking back a short distance from the old lighthouse, from tsar Peter’s time, on the Pakri headland near Paldiski, there are wooden steps that go down fifteen meters to the foot of the klint (the lighthouse – on the left in the photo - will probably soon crumble into the sea). Now is a good time to go there, the sea is calm enough to allow a nice ramble of some kilometres back towards town. The company from the journal Loodusesõber and the Looduse Omnibuss, who climbed down last Sunday together with limestone nestor Rein Einasto found among the stone clumps: cephalopods, “fool’s gold” or pyrite, trilobites, discontinuities, fantastic “knobbly” sandstone pieces (the “knobs” too contain pyrite), and could at once get an explanation to what and where and how many millions of years ago, and how these rocks had been formed. If you would like to widen your stone knowledge then keep an eye on Looduse Omnibuss trips, there are plans to arrange trips for stone fans westwards as well as eastwards.
