Kallaste outcrop, Protected sandstone outcrop near Lake Peipus, Estonia
The Kallaste outcrop stretches for 930 meters along Lake Peipus, reaching heights of 8 meters and displaying distinct layers of Devonian sandstone formations.
The natural formation dates back approximately 400 million years, when the area was covered by shallow coastal waters containing numerous coral reefs and marine life.
Estonian folklore mentions a mythical smith who worked inside the caves of Kallaste outcrop, crafting weapons for local inhabitants during ancient times.
Visitors can explore eleven separate outcrops along the way from the southern part toward the central square, with caves reaching depths of 6 meters.
Wave erosion from Lake Peipus continuously shapes the sandstone, creating natural caves that measure up to 1.5 meters in height throughout the formation.
