Harju County, County in northern Estonia

Located on the shores of the Gulf of Finland, Harju County spans 4,333 square kilometers of forests, wetlands, limestone cliffs, and coastal regions.

The administrative territory gained its current form in 1962 when the Keila district merged with the Harju district to establish a major Estonian governmental division.

The region includes 70 community centers, 82 public libraries, and numerous historical manors that showcase traditional Estonian architecture and heritage.

The county capital Tallinn connects to other municipalities through an extensive network of roads, railways, and public transportation serving 646,315 residents.

Tuhala Karst Reserve contains an unusual natural phenomenon known as the Witches Well, which periodically overflows creating a rare water uprising.
