Keila Waterfall, Protected waterfall in Lääne-Harju Rural Municipality, Estonia.
Description
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.
History
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.
Practical
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.
