Is it possible now to calmly visit a neighboring country and return home?
If there is no emergency, the trip abroad should be postponed. The risks are too great that you can go only one way across the border.

In March, more than 100 Estonian residents were held hostage by the situation and could not cross the border to return home until March 30, when the Russian authorities made an indulgence.
Exceptions are made for those traveling to a relative’s funeral. Supporting documents will be required at the Russian border, and an application must be submitted in advance to the Estonian Police and Border Guard Board at the e-mail address: ppa@politsei.ee.

The Police and Border Guard Board does not prevent border crossing. In other words, they will definitely let you out of Estonia. But it should be remembered that in Russia you will need to be quarantined 14 days upon arrival. For violation of this requirement shall be fined.

This fish spawns in May; it has long been noticed that it coincides with the days of flowering bird cherry. The lamprey has a lifespan of 7 years, of which she spends five years in river silt in the form of larvae-tortoises, and two years in the sea, gains weight and becomes what we are used to seeing. After two years at sea, the fish returns to the river for spawning.

We remind you that fishing during spawning is prohibited!

At the end of the summer season, Ust-Narva hosts the traditional lamprey festival, which gathers tourists from Estonia and other countries.
