Ontika Cliff, Limestone cliff in Toila Rural Municipality, Estonia
The Ontika Cliff rises 55 meters above the Baltic Sea, forming a vertical limestone wall that exposes multiple geological layers spanning different periods.
The limestone formations at Ontika Cliff developed through marine sediment accumulation over millions of years, creating distinct stratified layers visible today.
Estonian geologists and researchers study the cliff's exposed rock layers to understand the regional geological evolution and natural processes of the Baltic region.
Visitors can access the observation platform near Valaste Waterfall throughout the year to view the cliff's limestone formations and coastal landscapes.
The cliff forms part of a 1,100-kilometer limestone bank that starts at Sweden's Öland Island and extends to Lake Ladoga in Russia.
