Estonian Waterfalls

Tour to largest and most beautiful waterfalls in Estonia Keila Joa and Jagala.

Rivers falling down from the lime stone step form two waterfalls. Beauty of Keila Joa waterfall was always valued, not only by fishermen who lived on the banks of the river, but also by noble knights. One of them was Alexander fon Benkendorf, notorious founder of first Russian Empire Secret Police in the 19th century. His neo gothic manor house is still on the bank of the river.

On our way we will have a photo stop in on the picturesque 40 meter high cliff on sea cost. We’ll see where merge Gulf of Finland and the big Baltic sea.

After seeing Keila Joa waterfall we will drive through small and cozy town Keila, which gave the name to the river and see real Estonian countryside.

Second waterfall – Jagala is located on the river which banks were inhabited by Estonian tribes already 4 thousand years ago. You will discover ancient burials and will know why rivers are getting shallow with time.

Waterfalls have a unique beauty in all seasons. In spring after the snow melting and in autumn after heavy rains the flow of water is greatest and waterfalls are bigger than ever. In summer the waterfalls are much smaller, but there is an opportunity to swim in the river, stand under the waterfall and let water massage your shoulders. In winter, waterfalls freeze, forming unpredictable shapes, icicles and ice caves. All year long, waterfalls attract photographers and nature lovers.
