Pimeaed

Pimeaed is a historical park located on the bastions of Narva, near the river and the old town center. It is considered the city's oldest park and retains the features of late 19th-century landscape architecture. Its alleys and green slopes offer a peaceful walking route over the former fortifications, with certain spots providing views toward the border river. Within and near the park, there are memorial signs related to the Siege of Narva during the Great Northern War and the events of the Estonian War of Independence. It is a convenient place for a stroll between historical fortifications and urban sights.

Valaste Waterfall

Valaste Waterfall is in Ontika village, Ida-Viru County, on a high limestone escarpment. A drop of more than thirty metres makes it Estonia's highest waterfall, and from the viewing platform you can watch both the water and the geological layers of the cliff. During the spring floods the flow is stronger; in winter cold winds from the sea can turn the water droplets into ice sculptures. The surroundings invite a stop to explore the clint coast, but take care near the escarpment and on wet stairs. The amount of water depends on the weather and is not the same on every visit.

Toila-Oru Park

Toila-Oru Park lies in Pühajõe village, Ida-Viru County, in the Pühajõe valley near the sea. The park survives from the former manor and presidential summer residence, and its paths lead to various tree species, avenues and viewpoints. On a walk you can look for the Silver Spring cave (Hõbeallika koobas) and reach the Swallow's Nest viewpoint overlooking the sea. The palace itself, destroyed in the Second World War, can no longer be seen, but its site and the park's design tell the story of the place. The park can be visited all year round; the virtual history tour is a separate activity.

Narva-Jõesuu Beach

Narva-Jõesuu Beach is in the town of Narva-Jõesuu, Ida-Viru County, a short trip from Narva. The long sandy beach stretches along the Gulf of Finland at the edge of a pine forest and suits both a summer beach day and a walk in other seasons. In season the main part of the beach has lifeguards, a children's playground, beach volleyball, changing cabins and showers. The shoreline is long, so quieter stretches can be found away from the busier central area. If coming by car, bear in mind Narva-Jõesuu's parking rules.

Ontika cliff

Ontika cliff is located in Ida-Viru County and is the highest limestone cliff in Estonia, reaching a height of about 55 meters. These rocks are like a stone book, revealing layers from different eras to the viewer. The nearby observation tower, built close to the Valaste waterfall, offers the best view of the cliff. Visitors can also hike along the coastal trail to explore the unique forest associated with the cliff. Ontika cliff is part of the over 1100 km long Baltic limestone cliff that starts from the Swedish island of Öland and ends near Lake Ladoga in Russia. The longest uninterrupted section extends 23 kilometers from the village of Saka to the vicinity of Toila.
