==================

The Danish Flag Day, Valdemarsdag is celebrated on June 15. The day is historically known for the Dannebrog that fell from the sky. According to the legend, the event took place in 1219 in Lyndanise in Estonia. This is a day that the Danish community celebrates together with families and friends. Last year we had an excellent arrangement at Suuresta Golf (click here to see photo gallery).

Tallinn Zoo

Tallinn Zoo was founded in Kadriorg on 25 August  1939. The zoo moved to its current area of ca 87 hectares in Veskimetsa district only 44 years later, in 1983. At first, the zoo had to cope with temporary buildings adapted from old military warehouses. Due to the 10-year-long prohibition on building cultural and sports structures in the Soviet Union after the Olympic Games in Moscow, the construction of proper zoo buildings could be initiated only subsequent to Estonia’s re-independence. Apparently there is no zoo that could perfectly manage a collection of too many species. It is unavoidable to have preferences and to specialise in particular animal groups. Tallinn Zoo holds the best collection of mountain goats and sheep in the world. We have an outstanding number of eagles and vultures and a remarkable collection of owl and crane species. Tallinn Zoo can claim without boasting that during our existence of a bit more than 70 years we have managed to assemble the most fascinating zoo collection in Northern Europe and achieved significant success in the reproduction of our nurselings. In 1989, earlier than any other zoo in the Soviet Union, Tallinn Zoo was included to the membership of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA).
