Aruküla koopad

The Aruküla caves feature various chambers with sandstone formations, extending approximately 200 square meters beneath the surface near Kvissentali põik road.

The cave system, first documented in the early 19th century, originally covered 500 square meters but decreased to 310 square meters by 1981 due to natural processes.

The caves serve as a research site for geologists studying the Devonian period, containing valuable stratotypes of the Aruküla formation within their structure.

Visitors access the cave through an iron hatch and descend via ladder to explore passages measuring between 1.0 to 1.5 meters in height.

The cave walls display distinct layers of yellowish and light reddish sandstone, while loose red sand covers the floor throughout the underground network.
