Is SAAREMAA SAFE NOW in 2020? ESTONIAS FORMER ‘CORONA ISLAND’ EXPLORING KURESSAARE CASTLE & FORTRESS
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 сен 2020
- The CAPITAL of SAAREMAA - KURESSAARE we’re finally exploring the island after the pandemic quarantine.
In this video we continue our tour of Estonia as we head over to KURESSAARE CASTLE in Kuressaare, the capital of Saaremaa which during the height of the pandemic in March was labeled the ’CORONA ISLAND’ after half of it’s population were thought to have contracted COVID19 and the island was completely shut off from the Estonian mainland. Check out our comparison video to see how well they dealt with it: • OUR REAL LIFE COMPARIS...
We were so pleased to finally make it to this island and to check out one of the most spectacular castle fortresses we’ve ever seen! The island is spacious and the people are so friendly, there is no crowding so it feels completely safe and no one appears to be living in fear of the coronavirus here.
After exploring the town of Kuressaare in the morning: • Is SAAREMAA SAFE NOW i... we waited for the rain to pass then made our way over to the castle for an afternoon of sunshine and sightseeing!
The well preserved castle and fortress dates back to the 14th century and like most of Estonia it too has had a colourful history. We just couldn’t believe that just a short walk from the main town of Kuressaare there is this incredible Castle - fortress (Arensburg) just perched next to the sea, it is truly incredible!
Upcoming videos!
We continue exploring the island of Saaremaa and head out of the main town to see what else the island has to offer.

A British couple from just outside London, England. We got married in 2018 and decided instead of a honeymoon we’d travel the world together for a year. We saved money and travel points, quit our jobs, rented our house out and boarded a one way flight. We started this RUclips channel to share our experiences with friends, family and anyone who plans to travel to the places we’re visiting. We leave TKT tips/facts on our vlogs and blogs to give information that we wish we’d had before visiting. We hope you find our content useful :)

Thanks so much for watching you lovely people!😊
If you like the video don’t forget to give it a thumbs up, 👍🏼 it really does mean the world to us! 🌍
Wow guys, this castle is so beautiful, I love how green everything is as well! How cute is the windmill! It’s nice to see how well everything is looked after! Really cool that you can walk all the way around the castle.
Being Bedingfield it is such a stunning location, had no idea this huge castle would be right next to this small little town☺️
That's so great to know that you can just explore the grounds of the castle without getting a ticket inside! Such a great money saving tip and from this video those grounds looks absolutely gorgeous.
The Traveling Swiss ☺️ thank you the grounds are so beautiful and well kept much like everything in Estonia
👌 Interesting experiences guys! thank you for sharing, 👌
Thank you for watching😊
What an absolutely stunning castle 🏰 so awesome that you got to see so much! That windmill is so cool 🥰 didn't know those types of windmills existed. Great video as always guys, love exploring Estonia with you guys!
Kelby & Adam - Our Life through a lens we love that we still got to explore the vast grounds of the castle and fortress, the windmill was cute and felt very Estonian☺️
Very cool castle, the drone footage really highlights the grounds, so pretty! It was cool to see inside the small workshop too!
☺️ thank you, we loved exploring the grounds all afternoon!
Another great video guys, well done! A beautiful castle in a great setting very well maintained and spotlessly clean and tidy, as we have come to expect in Estonia! Stay safe and keep up the good work!
Steve Lloyd Williams it did feel very perfectly kept and as you say exactly as things seem to be in Estonia😊
Wow, what an incredible place, those grounds are so perfect looking! Love the attention to detail in this video👌🏼
Josie Saunders thank you 😊 Craig definitely has an eye for detail, takes some patience but always worth it in the end!
I love visiting castles when I travel, and this one looks like a great one to visit. I really liked your cinematic footage and the drone shots.
The Average Tourist castles are incredible and it feels like we’re spoilt for choice with castles in Europe but each is so different, the grounds of this one impressed us the most, just so vast and perfectly laid out. Thanks for watching😊
Superb video lovely couple. It's good be part your YT family. Can't wait to see more videos. Stay safe and stay healthy. Hit the notification Bell.
Though most of the castles in Estonia and Latvia suffered in the Livonian war, many were restored after the war as well. The main reason why most of the castles are in ruins was the Great Northern War. As when Russian troops were fighting in the areas of Estonia and Latvia, it was not sure yet if they are able to keep these territories, Peter I decided to blow the castles up just for a case, as well as to destroy everything else he could. Kuressaare survived, as it was too complicated to transport huge amounts of explosives to the island. As the war was accompanied by plague as well, just a third of the population in here survived (and even less survived the Livonian war earlier).
forgottenmusic1 that’s interesting that part of the reason it wasn’t destroyed came simply down to logistics🙂
I love Castles! Your drone footage is amazing. Technically we don't have Castles, (other than Disney World Castle) in the USA. Thus, my fascination. Very cool. Thanks for sharing!
Lucas World Travel they’re so cool aren’t they, when you guys come back to Europe you’ll have loads to choose from😊 although we’re massive Disney fans and also love a Disney castle😉
Castle looks stunning, also those wooden villas next door are amazing! 👌
Tadas C we were blown away by how awesome the castle and fortress looked🤩 yes we also loved the villas next door!
@@TideKnotTravellers big old wooden villa is aways very good indicator of promising good horror movie 👻🎥😱😆
Tadas C 😂😅
@@tadasc8449 after the WW2 they found piles of dead bodies from the basement of these villas. So yeah, there is plenty of material for horror movie :)
@@valmarifoto oh no! The war time was one big horror scene... Nothing will ever be more horrific, I hope we learned the lesson! 😞
I love the red roof on this castle. It's really beautiful with it's natural surrounding setting. I really appreciate that you can walk around the grounds and enjoy the beauty without having to pay. You got some really lovely drone footage again. It helped me understand just how extensive the fortress was which was really cool!!
Yeh we couldn’t believe how awesomely symmetrical the grounds were, love being able to get perspective from our aerial views🤩
Well done a other great Vlog. Thank you very professional 👍🥺
Lynne Lloyd-Williams thank you 😊

Just found your channel. Happy to see you exploring and making the most out of the situation. Hopefully we can start traveling further soon. This video makes me miss my time in Estonia in August 2019.
Graceontour gotta make the most of what we all can despite what this year throws at us all. Hope you’re safe wherever you travel! So pleased to hear you enjoyed your time in Estonia, it is a massively underrated place and we’re so happy we got to explore so much of it😊
wow just wow we would love to go
Definitely a place to add to the list 😊
the museum inside the Kuressaare castle takes at least half a day. it's packed with history, geology and nature from basement to ramparts. Add to that the building itself is stunning in it's simple, but beautiful architecture, early gothic in style. There is a small chappel in there, that has the best acoustics that i've ever met.
It’s such a beautiful building and surroundings 🤩
So did you ever figure out why Dolomite was used for everything? Is it a stronger substance or more prevalent than Limestone? Also, this location is unbelievably charming. The water, islands, windmill and fortress wall are so idyllic. What a unique place!
Ruth and Thomas Dolomite is a type of limestone😊 it is just limestone that has different minerals - has higher magnesium calcium carbonate than regular limestone it’s just created slightly differently through chemical changes called dolomitization. They happen to have a lot of it to hand due to the type of landscape and soil so I guess that’s why they use it but Dolomite is one of the most often used limestones. (Sorry if that was long winded😅) It was such a beautiful place to visit!🏰
@@TideKnotTravellers haha it was just winded enough! Thanks for the information.. I don't know what I'll do with it, but maybe break it out during a trivia night haha -- but that's the point of travelling! Picking up new information and experiencing/learning new things. Thank you for sharing 😁
like 71. great video.beautiful castle. thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching ☺️
That castle is looking magnificent! Love the little workshop inside, super nice that everything is handmade! Museums are expensive, do they have a museum pass? Sceneries are breathtaking 🤗 looking forward to island if Sarama!
It was a cute little workshop. They have museum passes in Tallinn as there are so many museums (we’re actually a bit museumed out for now😅) but not sure if there are passes in Saaremaa, maybe but we ran out of time whilst enjoying the grounds😊
Hello my friend
Hi 👋🏼
There is a proverb in Estonian that is Do it once do it as well as you can make it or dont do it at all! Guess thats why they do have alot of care to everithing they do.
"Corona island" comedy gold
Yep!😅 more like a haven😊
1k?!
Boomistirr almost ☺️
It's ridiculous that the street name in Estonian Lossi means "castle", but in Russian this means "moose"!
