Keila Waterfall, Protected waterfall in Lääne-Harju Rural Municipality, Estonia.
Keila Waterfall drops 6 meters across a 60-meter width of the Keila River, with water flowing year-round. The setting includes a manor house, two suspension bridges, and an old hydroelectric plant nestled along the banks.
A hydroelectric plant was built in the 19th century during northern Estonia's industrial growth and still operates today. It represents an early example of power generation in the region.
A Neo-Gothic manor house and two suspension bridges shape the area, showing how Estonian architecture fits into the natural landscape. Local people have used this riverbank for generations, making it a place where buildings and nature coexist.
Access is via a path along the riverbed with designated viewing platforms offering different angles. Visitors should expect wet and slippery conditions, especially after rain or during high water levels.
The water creates distinct patterns as it flows over limestone formations and ranks among Estonia's three most powerful waterfalls. The force has shaped the stone over time, creating a landscape you will not forget.
