The event, the 1000th excursion with Looduse Omnibus (Nature Bus), took place in Tallinn’s Linnahall on Sunday. More than 1000 people were there during the more than 4 hour programme. Major parts of the Linnahall will close from the New Year for substantial renovations and rebuilding. Linnahall, eastwards from the Old Town, and just outside the city walls, was completed in 1980 in connection with the sailing events of the 1980 Olympic Games,
