Lubja caves in Tallinn

Viimsi Koobas, or the caves of Viimsi, are a man-made set of tunnels on a cliff face rising near the Vimka - Viimsi Mäepark ski hill. There may be more than one tunnel and the tunnels are supposed to be longer, but I think they have been filled with sand or collapsed, as I was able to find only one about 13 meter long tunnel. Nice visit still, though.

Here is the information sign near the tunnels:

The coordinates to this place are N 59.517783 E 24.839870. It is the village of Lubja, in the region of Vimsi. Just outside city of Tallinn.

Also saw one very frosty bat... poor thing. I wonder if it is OK....

I also made a 3D scan of the tunnels with my iPhone's Lidar function, and then converted it to a cave map using the cave-outliner software (link). Below you can find the map and a screenshot of the 3D model. The high-resolution map PDF is here. The model can be downloaded here (GLB) and rotated on your browser screen here.
