We have been riding through Eurovelo 10, many times, took pictures, mapped the signs and visited sights. Although data is "old" after some time we try to give you our best to explore the Eurovelo 10 and follow once behind the wall section, not so accessible and even heavily armed by Soviet Border Guards.

Paldiski exSoviet military town Detailed itinerary starting from Tallinn
- Port of Tallinn/Old Town as a starting point is nice way to start to the west of Estonia. After 7 km, cycling past Noblessner area, Stroomi beach you will reach to Estonian Open Air museum. It is over 72 ha and ovr 70 buildings. Big territory is best to discover with your own bicycle and no extra charge for that. Spend there 1-2.5 hours and can also have local food at Kolu Tavern.
- Continue alongisde nice cycle path, until you reach to Tabasalu. It is surprisingly steep climb, up to 35 meters ontop of the cliff. There is 3.5 hiking trail, partly accessible by bike. Picnic table and fire place.
- Cycle path continues until Vääna-Jõesuu village. Nice sandy beach will be 1 km on your west. Here the cycling path ends and you have 1 meter separated line alongside the road.
- Another climb to Türisalu cliff with viewpoint to West ay of Tallinn and some suburbs.
- The cycle path starts again and is nicely alongside the road next 10 km, until the junction with Paldiski-Keila road. On that section you have:
- Keila-Joa waterfall and park with Castle and restaurant
- The Arvo Pärt Centre combines the composer’s personal archive with an information and music Centre. Short ride from Laulasmaa
- Laulasmaa pine forest and beach. LaSpa restaurants to get calories or relax on the summer terrace
- Cozy Ott and Matilda cafe for quick coffe or snack or just a visit to grocery store at Laulasmaa
- T junction with E265 road and right turn towards Paldiski. Next 7 km is not so nice road due to absense of separate cycling path and more traffic volume. There is 1 meter side to cycle.
- Paldiski town is former nuclear submarine training centre and was closed city during Soviet era. Now around 4000 people live there and you can see some remains of soviet era.
- Accommodation at Paldiski hotel or Pakri Parun guest rooms or private B&B-s.
