province is the Lake Peipsi, with the longest sand-beach in Estonia.
Ida-Virumaa is also well-known for its giant textile-producer: Kreenholm,
its oil shale mines, chemistry enterprises and power plants, as well as
the Kuremäe abbey for nuns, the Hermann stronghold (located on
the eastern border of Estonia) and the protean nature.

for transportation by sea.There are many old mansions and smaller castles,
in the region, which lately have been restored. Some of the known ones
of them are the Kalvi, the Mäetaguse and the Illuka mansions.

your spare time or holiday: fishing, camping, horse riding, canoeing
and many opportunities for wellness such as spas and saunas.
