Türisalu Cliff

Türisalu Cliff is a limestone formation rising above the Baltic Sea along Estonia's northern coast, displaying distinct layers of sedimentary rock. The wall shows the geological composition built up over vast periods of time through natural processes.

This formation took shape during the last ice age thousands of years ago, carved by advancing and retreating glaciers. The underlying limestone originated from even older marine deposits laid down in ancient seas.

The cliff attracts people seeking connection with the coastal landscape, serving as a place where locals and visitors experience the raw edge where land meets sea.

Trails circle the cliff and offer different viewing perspectives from the elevated ground. Good footwear is recommended since the ground conditions vary depending on weather and season.

The vantage point offers views toward offshore islands and distant headlands that reveal the broader shape of the coastline. The fine details between rock layers often catch the eye of those who look carefully at the cliff face.
