In Lake Ülemiste there is boulder called Linda Kivi ("Linda's Stone" or "Linda's Rock"). In Estonian mythology, it is believed to be one of the boulders Linda was supposed to carry to Kalev's grave at Toompea, but which fell off her apron. She sat on the boulder and cried, thus creating the lake.

You can easily see the rock from the airplane when landing at or flying from Tallinn airport (if you are at a window on the correct side of the airplane ofcourse).
