Saula Blue Springs Day Trip

The Blue Springs of Saula are a small, beautiful nature stop near Tallinn: three springs with shifting blue-green tones, best visited slowly and respectfully as part of a relaxed half-day outing.

Why Go to Saula

Saula is a “small stop, big mood” kind of place: clear springs, forest atmosphere, and a calm pause that feels very Estonia.

It’s best for travelers who like nature moments that are scenic without being a full hiking day.

What to Do (And How to Keep It Nice)

  • Walk slowly, look into the water, and let the colors change as the light shifts.
  • Treat it as a quiet, respectful place — it’s known historically as a sacred/sacrificial springs site.

If you want to turn it into a fuller half-day, combine it with Tuhala Witch’s Well.

How to Plan Your Half‑Day

A simple plan:

  • Saula springs stop → one short walk → return to Tallinn

Back in the city, pair the calm nature vibe with something cozy: Old Town at dusk or a long cafe sit (see Best Cafes).
