Ülejoon

Ülejoon is a locality in Estonia. It is situated in the northern part of the country, within Ida-Viru County. Administratively, Ülejoon is part of the Alutaguse Parish. The region is characterized by its natural landscapes, which include forests and agricultural areas. The nearest larger settlements include towns like Jõhvi and Kohtla-Järve, which offer more extensive services and infrastructure.

The history of Ülejoon is tied to the broader development of the Ida-Viru County, an area known for its industrial past, particularly in oil shale extraction, though Ülejoon itself is more rural. Like many Estonian villages, its population has seen changes over time, reflecting demographic trends in the country. The local economy is primarily based on agriculture and forestry, with some residents likely commuting to nearby industrial centers for employment.

The natural environment around Ülejoon is a significant feature. The area is part of the larger Alutaguse landscape, which is the largest wilderness area in Estonia, offering opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking and nature observation. The climate is continental, with distinct seasons. Information on specific landmarks or cultural sites within Ülejoon itself is limited, suggesting it is a predominantly residential and agricultural area rather than a major tourist destination. Its existence is part of the fabric of rural Estonia.
