The Tallinn Television Tower (Teletorn) is the highest point in Estonia at 314 m and if it's nice you can see all the way to Finland from here.

It was built for the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow primarily to transmit the signal from the broadcast of the Olympic regatta races, which were held in Tallinn.
