Jägala Waterfall Day Trip

• Estonia’s widest natural waterfall: over 50m wide.
• Height: about 8m.
• Easy half‑day from Tallinn: great when you want nature without a big plan.

It’s located at Jägala‑Joa village on the Jägala River, not far from Tallinn — a strong “bonus nature” add‑on to a city weekend.

Jägala is wide and satisfying: a broad curtain of water with a real roar in high‑water seasons.

In winter, the waterfall can form an impressive ice wall (and sometimes even an ice “tunnel” effect) — but conditions can be dangerous, so treat it as a look‑don’t‑climb destination.

• Spring: often the most dramatic flow (snowmelt and higher water).
• Summer: calmer, easy to combine with a full Tallinn itinerary.
• Winter: atmospheric ice formations, but watch for slippery ground and unstable ice.

Treat Jägala as a half‑day reset:

• Go out → short walk + viewpoints → return to Tallinn

Then spend the rest of your day in a nearby “gentle” Tallinn area like Kadriorg or a more energetic one like Telliskivi.

If you want a second nature stop, choose one:

• Bigger nature day: Lahemaa National Park
• Another waterfall: Keila‑Joa Waterfall
