Pakri Cliffs

This is beyond Paldiski. It is not apparent that there is sheer cliff right beyond. In fact, if you go hear the edge, you are most certainly standing on a piece of land jutting out in the air – and of course, very dangerous.

Wed”lock”

Newlyweds come here and put a lock (with their names on it) on one of the multiple structures around here. Then they throw the key in the waterfall. The belief is this would mean they will be happily married for life. Mati – my guide – told me that 50% of Estonian marriages breakup within 2 years of wedding. That 2 years part shocked me.

Keila Waterfall

We kept going around the Baltic Sea in a counterclockwise fashion and came up to this waterfall. Estonia, as a country – especially the north – is flat as a pancake. Not much of hills or mountains. Thus, most of the waterfalls are short in height but fairly wide – usually where the sandstone and limestone rocks have sunk down.

Turisalu Cliffs

Our first stop is to check out the cliffs here. What is not apparent from the picture – because of the thick undergrowth – is that a couple of more steps and you will fall 100 feet vertically into the ocean.
