Park founder Nikolai von Glehn
The founder of the park is Nikolai von Glehn, the founder of Nõmme (part of Tallinn). In the early years of Nõmme, at the end of the 19th century, Glehn built a castle in the style of a medieval fortress on the slopes of Mustamäe and started building a park next to it. The aim of the founder was to turn the area into a cozy summer area, several species of trees and shrubs were planted in the park, alleys and roads were built. Today, it has become a forest park, where, in addition to the castle and palm house, there are statues of Kalevipoeg and Crocodile and an observatory built according to Glehn's ideas. The park is part of the Mustamäe landscape protection area and is popular among summer and winter health sports enthusiasts.
Warm autumn days invite you to enjoy nature. The children of the Sinilill group were able to get acquainted with the beautiful park, castle and statues built by Mr. Nikolai Von Glehn.
The surprise and joy of the children was great when a big and strong KALEVIPOEG statue began to appear between the trees.
Kalevipoeg has animal skin with horns pulled on, and it's no wonder he's considered the devil.
Isn't it nice that Mr. Glehn had such exciting plans. Now is a great opportunity to ride a crocodile, pat his red tongue and even climb into his mouth.
But that was not all. From the top of the higher hill there is a tower. This is the Glehn Lookout Tower.
From there you can study the stars and the moon or watch the children play across the sea in Finland.
It is also a very nice place to practice climbing.
Ants also like Mr. Glehn's Park very much because the castles they built are no worse than Glehn's Castle.
THE SINILILL GROUP THANKS THE BEAUTIFUL AUTUMN DAY!
