Valga
Valga, in southern Estonia, is the country's southernmost town and shares an unusual cross-border history with Valka in Latvia: the two were a single town until 1920, and since Estonia and Latvia both joined the Schengen Agreement in 2007, the border between them has been open and unmarked. The town sits on the Pedeli River and has a protected historic core, a railway station, and a museum.
