Tips for visiting

  • Ticks are active from April to October across all forest and bog trails near Tallinn; tick-borne encephalitis and Lyme disease occur in Estonia, so wear long trousers, check skin afterwards and consider TBE vaccination well before travel.

When to visit

April to May, when spring melt gives the waterfall its strongest flow, and September to October for autumn colour. Steps are slippery when wet or icy.

Accessibility

The walk includes stairs and a short descent to the riverbank, so it is not fully wheelchair- or stroller-friendly. Park paths near the manor are easier than the sections around the falls.
