Flag Hill (‘Lipumägi’ in Estonian) is the highest place in Võsu. It was named Virgin Hill (‘Neitsimägi’ in Estonian) during the tsarist era. Vahenõmme (Estonian for ‘Interim Heath’) is what locals call the area next to Flag Hill, plus the streets of Pargi (‘park’ in Estonian), and the beginning of Metsa (‘forest’ in Estonian). In 1924 the famous Estonian writer Anton Hansen Tammsaare holidayed here with his family in what was known as Vollmann’s House (‘Volmanni maja’ in Estonian), translating Dostoevsky’s ‘Crime and Punishment’ and preparing his own earlier work for reprint. Tammsaare loved visiting the market next to the house in the morning where farmers sold their produce right off their wagons. It’s quite possible that Tammsaare stumbled upon ideas for his books by chatting with the farmers. At the end of summer he published an article entitled ‘A late holidaymaker’s letter from Võsu’ (‘Hiline suvituskiri Võsult’ in Estonian) in which he writes: ‘The typical holidaymaker is long gone, and yet a person or two still strolls along the sandy beach or in the midst of the pine tree columns where the cowberries shine red. Quiet. But the sea still glistens in sunshine and a tranquil wave laps the streak of sand. This is the normal outlook for the sea in Võsu. She stands in contrast to Toila or Narva-Jõesuu where, more often than not white-tipped and foam-spurting sea eddies stir and roar. The sea at Võsu is a sea for children’. Starting in 1966 Võsu Hospital, which was founded in 1946 following the establishment of a medical ward, operated at 9 Pargi Street and 11 Pargi Street. Prior to this, medical care was provided by doctors who were holidaying in Võsu or who were operating a private practice. In 1979 the hospital was closed. In 1957, the Forest Club (‘Metsaklubi’ in Estonia) was erected next to Flag Hill for the purposes of Pargi Võsu Holiday Home (‘Võsu Puhkekodu’ in Estonian), accommodating 450 guests; the club mostly served as a summertime cinema. The Forest Club was demolished in 2006.
