Väike Taevaskoda, Sandstone outcrop in Põlva Rural Municipality, Estonia
The Väike Taevaskoda formation stands next to the Ahja River, displaying red sandstone walls that rise above the surrounding forest landscape.
The sandstone formations at Väike Taevaskoda date back millions of years, revealing geological layers that document Estonia's ancient marine environment.
Estonian folklore connects the sandstone outcrop to stories of caves, hidden passages, and a mermaid who kept a golden comb within its walls.
Visitors can access the site through marked trails from the Saesaare dam parking area, with informational signs guiding them along the path.
Natural springs emerge from the sandstone walls throughout the year, creating small water features that flow directly into the Ahja River below.
