Michael embarks on a journey starting in Tallinn, traveling south through Latvia and into Lithuania, sailing into the Baltic Sea from Kaliningrad, a former part of East Prussia. In Estonia, he explores a unique pyramid-shaped house and tries out the healing effects of leeches. His adventure continues in Latvia, where he discovers one of the most clandestine locations from the Communist era—the astronomical telescope.
