Üügu Cliff, Natural cliff in Kallaste, Estonia.
The Üügu cliff extends for 300 meters along the northern coast of Muhu Island, featuring a 5.5-meter-high vertical face of dolostone rock formation.
The cliff formation dates to the post-Ice Age period from approximately 10,000 years ago, with evidence of dolomite extraction activities before World War I.
The cliff stands as a central element of Estonia's geological heritage, representing the natural processes that shaped the northern coastline of Muhu Island.
Visitors can access the cliff throughout the year without entrance fees, following marked trails that lead to observation points along the formation.
The sea's erosive forces have created distinct cave-like basins within the cliff face, now positioned 150 meters from the current shoreline.
