Narva Waterfall, Natural waterfall formation on Estonia-Russia border, Estonia

The Narva River flows over the Baltic Klint, creating two distinct sections of waterfalls divided by Kreenholm Island with heights reaching 6.5 meters.

The construction of the Narva Reservoir in 1955 significantly altered the waterfall's natural flow, transforming it from one of Europe's most powerful falls.

The waterfall marks a natural border between Estonia and Russia, with the Estonian-Russian frontier passing directly through the eastern Joala Falls section.

The waterfall remains dry most of the year, with water releases occurring only during specific periods when the reservoir operators schedule controlled flows.

The western Kreenholm Falls section spans 60 meters while the eastern Joala Falls extends 110 meters, creating a combined width of 170 meters.
