Estonian Eiffel Tower

Hey if you want to see something out of the ordinary, head down to Hiiumaa (Estonia's second largest island) and check out Estonias Eiffel Tower - a rickety 31-metre wooden structure that was built by Jaan Alliksoo. It's been around since 2008 but the authorities want it taken down a.s.a.p.
Apparently you can go up it to get some pretty good views of the Baltic Sea, but check your travel insurance for hospital cover before you do and tread with caution. Jaans workmanship is a little questionable...
