Saka Waterfall, Limestone cascade in Saka, Estonia.
Saka Waterfall is a limestone cascade that flows from a highland along the North Estonian Klint, forming multiple natural terraces as it descends. The water travels down through layers of stone, creating a stepped appearance along the cliff face.
The waterfall formed through erosion of sandstone beneath limestone escarpments, a process that took place over centuries. This geological activity shaped the North Estonian landscape and created the conditions for waterfall formation.
The waterfall displays the natural geology of North Estonia, where limestone plateaus create waterfalls at multiple locations. Visitors can see the exposed rock layers that tell the story of this region.
Visitors reach the waterfall through the Saka Klindimõisa hiking trail, which passes by several viewing points along the way. A staircase on the side provides safe access down to the beach and shoreline area below.
The water flow varies considerably depending on the season, revealing different layers of limestone and sandstone when water levels are low. This changing nature means each visit offers a different view depending on when you come.
