Overview
Jõhvi is a small Estonian town of 10,000 people serving as the transport and administrative hub of Ida-Viru county in northeastern Estonia. Its main appeal lies in its 13th-century Gothic fortress church, Russian Orthodox architecture from 1895, and the modern Jõhvi Concert Hall that opened in 2005.
