Harkumetsa (Harkumets)
Harku woods. A road built for “light traffic”, in other words a two-way bicycle lane, See Hiiumetsa. Joins Kõrgepinge near Astangu. Plans were afoot in 2014 to rename it as Kitsarööpa, of which it now seems to be just an extension.
Eerikneeme (Eerikneem)
Eric’s Cape (point, headland, foreland) on Aegna island, site of one of Estonia’s approximately 9 stone labyrinths (approx. location ///apprehended.translators.revenge) built by Swedish settlers from the early medieval ages to the 1700s, and known variously as Town of Troy, City or Ruins of Jerusalem, Mount Jerusalem, Virgin’s Dance or Giant’s Garden. Interestingly, its axis of symmetry is NW-SE, with its ‘entrance’ at the NW (see Loode)... Labyrinths of this nature seem to have been first recorded by Karl Ernst von Baer (see Tammsaare A.H.), one in the Kola peninsula village of Поно́й (Ponoy, derived from ‘Sami’ [dialect unspecified] pienneoi, dog river [see Piksepeni]), which a local claimed to be called Вавилонъ (Babylon). Others have been located in Boughton, UK (the outline of a labyrinth can be detected in aerial photos), Visby (Sweden), on the islet of Länsi-Viiri (///obverse.underinsured.imposes), Hiiumaa, etc., and seem to have accompanied the ‘Viking’ migrations but, sensu Baer, may have Finnish or Russian origins. One of the island’s six roads. See also Kalavälja.
