Rummu quarry

[1] When pumping of water ceased, the quarry quickly filled with groundwater, forming a lake, immersing some of the utility buildings and machinery.

[10] Several of the deserted buildings at Rummu were featured in the video for hit song "Faded" (2015) by Norwegian DJ Alan Walker[11] and Jesse Kaikuranta's - 'Vielä täällä' also include scenes from Rummy quarry.

Since 2015, Architecture students from Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA) have been discussing ideas and drafting several possible sketches and proposals of what the abandoned area of the quarry could become in the future.

[13] The place is practically impossible to access by car, since vehicles are prohibited from stopping near the gate of the road to the quarry.

[14] In early 2016, the area began to be closed off, because of issues with cars, and because swimming and diving into the lake is dangerous, and the owner has posted relevant warning signs.
