There is enough to see and do in Keila-Joa to fill an entire day – from one of Estonia’s most impressive waterfalls (after which the place is named) and the forested hiking trails in the manor park to the 17th century manor itself. The jewel in the crown of the complex is its aristocratic mansion, which was constructed in 1833 and restored to its former glory in 2013. Today it is home to a hotel, a restaurant and a museum showcasing the history of the estate.

These cascades are among the prettiest in Estonia and are worth visiting at any time of year – whether in the height of summer of the depths of winter. A bridge has been constructed for visitors from which it is safe to admire the surroundings.
The views from atop these limestone cliffs, which stand 31 metres above sea level, are the very definition of picturesque. The cliffs themselves make for an impressive sight from the water below.
