Laaaast one from my trip I swear! In between two countries: 🇪🇪 - 🇷🇺 Two stone behemoths have faced off for centuries as countless battles were waged over a very contentious border. Narva Castle towers over the Estonian side, while Ivangorod Fortress sprawls across the Russian bank. Between them runs the Narva River, which connects Lake Peipsi to the Gulf of Finland. Historically, whoever controlled the Narva River also controlled the very important trade routes of the Baltic Sea. For this reason, northern Estonia was hotly contested by major powers from Denmark to Russia. 🏰🛡⚔️ 🏰... (🛠😛😂) Epic scenery for nowadays tho! Of course I needed to take a picture there! I mean have you seen leggings?! Im a Knight 🤨 They’re from my favorite brand of all times @blackmilkclothing (Eh..ehhmm sponsor me matttees)) 🤞🏽🖤 Narva is also competing for Cultural Capital of Estonia and I couldn’t agree more! This place and their history is so amusing. (Also my hubby’s hometown 💜💜💜) Shoes from @koifootwear 🖤 📸: @jevgeni.pasechnikov муууррр😙 . . . #Narva #HermannCastle #NorthEstonia #Beautifuldestinations #Narvacity #narvaidavirumaa #Estonia #Eesti #Ivangorod #Russia #Россия #Русский #гопник #матрешка #матушкароссия #россии #замок #emporioarmani #armani #wonderfulplaces #visitestonia #travelinestonia #koifootwear #blackmilkclothing #bmchainmaillegs #chainmail #travelblogger (at Narva Hermanni linnus / Narva Hermann Castle) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz6TK3RFg40/?igshid=1a6fhcla539sd
