Waterfalls of Estonia

Estonia is famously flat — its highest hill, Suur Munamägi, tops out at just 318 m — so it isn't obvious waterfall country. Yet the land has one great geological gift: the North Estonian (Baltic) Klint, a limestone escarpment that runs along the northern coast and drops sharply toward the Gulf of Finland. Almost every Estonian waterfall spills over this cliff, and the tallest of them, Valaste, plunges more than 30 metres.

This map gathers all 36 documented waterfalls and cascades in Estonia — every named fall with a drop over a metre, from the country's widest (Jägala) and tallest (Valaste) to obscure seasonal trickles and even a few that no longer flow. Many are fed by drainage ditches rather than rivers, so they run hardest during spring snowmelt and after rain and freeze into spectacular ice curtains in winter, while several dry up in high summer. A handful lack any published coordinate and so appear in the list without a pin — they are kept here to make the inventory complete.

Each point notes whether and how you can visit — parking, trails, viewing platforms — plus the best season and nearby sights. Compiled from Estonian Wikipedia, Wikidata, OpenStreetMap and Visit Estonia; every coordinate was checked against an authoritative database.
