Sidenotes: Altja fishermens village stands on the northern shores of Estonia and dates back to 1465. It is traditional costal village where the houses are in a row next to single village street. Nowadays it is famos for its ancient fishing net sheds that are right on the beach and very close to each other. Once very common in costal areas, very few have remind.
