The Last Relic at Taevaskoja
Grigori Kromanov's adventure film Viimne reliikvia was based on Eduard Bornhöhe's 1893 novel about the last days of Pirita convent. Filming lasted nine months. Besides Tallinn Old Town and the passages of the Dominican monastery, the crew worked at Taevaskoja, where Devonian sandstone outcrops line the Ahja river. The horses caused trouble. Lithuanian actor Juozas Budraitis, first cast as Ivo, fell from a horse and broke his pelvis. All his scenes were reshot with Peeter Jakobi. There were more accidents with horses, and nature conservationists would not let the crew put up Schenkenberg's camp at Taevaskoja.

Grigori Kromanovi seiklusfilm "Viimne reliikvia" põhines Eduard Bornhöhe 1893. aasta romaanil Pirita kloostri viimastest päevadest. Võtted kestsid üheksa kuud. Lisaks Tallinna vanalinnale ja Dominiiklaste kloostri käikudele filmiti Taevaskojas, kus Ahja jõe kaldal paljanduvad Devoni liivakivid. Hobustega oli palju muret. Leedu näitleja Juozas Budraitis, kes pidi algul mängima Ivot, kukkus hobuselt ja murdis vaagnaluu. Kõik tema stseenid filmiti uuesti Peeter Jakobiga. Õnnetusi hobustega juhtus veelgi ning looduskaitsjad ei lubanud Taevaskojas Schenkenbergi laagrit püsti panna.
