Jägala Waterfall

Jägala Waterfall is in Jägala-Joa village, Harju County, east of Tallinn. Here the river drops over a wide limestone escarpment, forming Estonia's widest natural waterfall. The amount of water and the look of the falls change with the seasons: the spring floods make a powerful sight, while in a cold winter an ice wall can form on the escarpment. Around the waterfall you can view the river's course from different directions and notice the layers of the limestone bank. A visit suits a short nature stop in Harju County; take particular care on wet stones and when it is icy.
