Location: Tammneeme Tiirukivi sits in Tammneeme, on the tip of Viimsi peninsula. The drive time to the stone from downtown Tallinn is approximately 30 min and distance about 20 km. The fastest route to reach Tammneeme Tiirukivi is from downtown Tallinn to drive past Pirita towards Viimsi, at Ranna tee drive all the way to its end and follow Randvere tee until you come to Tammneeme tee.
Finding it: On the first visit it pays to make a short stop where the Tammneeme tee practically touches the sea. From here you can you can see the Tammneeme Tiirukivi some 400-500 m further North on the coast.
Parking: You can leave your car here or drive it a bit further to the intersection of Tammneeme tee and Luhaääre tee (there isn't really a perfect place to park the car but I have found the shoulder right after the intersection to serve the purpose).
Other remarks: The stone is 5,5 m high and has a good decending route. The ground around the stone is practically all grass. Therefore, you can go climb even without a bouldering pad. The stone sits right next to the shore and it dries quickly. However, the stone is only some tens of centimeters above the sea level and even on a normal day the ground around the stone is moist enough to make the soles of your shoes a bit slippery. The stone is in a beautiful place and offers good range of problems starting from rather easy to more advanced ones. The stone has some beautiful, not too easy cracks on the side facing the sea. The height of the stone gives a bit of extra suspence even to the easier routes.
