Viivikonna
Viivikonna is a village in Narva-Jõesuu municipality, Ida-Viru County in northeastern Estonia. Once, it was known as a "central mining town" in Estonia, but today, it is a remote and near-abandoned village. Prior to the 2017 administrative reform of local governments, Viivikonna was a neighbourhood and a distant exclave of the city of Kohtla-Järve.
Ahitsa
Ahitsa (also Ahitsõ) is an unpopulated village in Rõuge Parish, Võru County in southeastern Estonia. The village has been unpopulated since 2011.
Horosuu
Horosuu is a ghost town in Rõuge Parish, Võru County in Estonia.
Sirgala
Sirgala is a village in Narva-Jõesuu municipality, Ida-Viru County, in northeastern Estonia. It is entirely surrounded by Mustanina village. Prior to the 2017 administrative reform of local governments, Sirgala was a neighbourhood and a distant exclave of the city of Kohtla-Järve. Much like the nearby village of Viivikonna, the village originated as a settlement for shale oil mine workers and large parts of it have been abandoned after the mines were closed.
