“Today Kadriorg is one of the most favourite parks of the Tallinners. When you enter the park from the tram terminal you will see a swan pond on your right. Across the pond there is a monument to Friedrich Reinhold Kreutzwald, the author of the national epic Kalevipoeg. The reliefs at the base of the monument depict scenes from the epic.”
