About
Quick facts: The promenade runs along the river that forms the border between Estonia and Russia, providing a unique opportunity to gaze across to the neighboring country. Along the waterfront are several historic monuments and sculptures that tell the story of the area's border history.
Highlights: The sunset here colors the water in fiery red hues and reflects Narva's fortress across the river, creating an almost magical atmosphere. Few places offer such a strong visual connection between nature, history, and two different countries as this promenade does.

- Bring a camera to capture the color changes of the sunset over the river.
- Avoid weekends if you want to avoid larger crowds.
