Ahja River Valley Nature Park

The Ahja River Valley Nature Park extends across 1,115 hectares, featuring steep cliffs, diverse woodland ecosystems, and natural riverbanks along the Ahja River.

The protected area received its official nature park designation as part of Estonia's environmental conservation efforts to preserve geological formations and natural resources.

The nature park serves as an educational site where visitors learn about Estonian environmental preservation methods and local geological formations through guided programs.

Marked trails throughout the park guide visitors to observation points, while designated parking areas near main entrances facilitate access to hiking paths.

The valley contains geological formations shaped by glacial activity, displaying layers of sediment and erosion patterns visible along the river course.
