Semi-organized bouldering in June
Between 1.6-1.9.2008 every Sunday at 12:00 there is a gathering on the Tallinn, Kristiine Stat Oil parking place (assuming it is not raining). From Stat Oil the "whoever is there at that time" heads to one of the big stones in the vicinity of Tallinn. More info: Oliver, oliver@wildevents.ee. Those without a car have (sofar) always found a place. The original poster is here: http://www.kaljuronimine.ee/index.php?go=file&data_field=thumb&db=picfile&id=34. On Tallinn Kaljuronimisklubi web page there is a discussion forum on the topic: http://www.kaljuronimine.ee/?go=forum&f=4&t=5.

A book of largest stones in Estonia
It might take a good while before this page has all the major stones covered. Therefore you might want to consider purchasing the "Eesti 100 Rändrahnu" book which lists the 100 largest stones in Estonia.

Actually, the same authors of 'Eesti 100 Rändrahnu' has published another very similar book 'Hiidrahnud' (Estonian Natural Monument Series), which is better than the former book. It has a overview map of Estonia with the boulders marked on it, and each boulder is introduced with a satellite picture showing the exact location of the boulder. If you don't want to pay 15 euros for that, you can download a similar (but without this feature) book by Enn Pirrus 'Eesti Suured Kivid', from here: (http://www.gi.ee/rahnud/)
