Йоавески, Protected cascade in Joaveski, Estonia
The Joaveski cascade stretches across 160 meters of the Loobu River, featuring six limestone steps ranging from 0.5 to 1.1 meters in height.
In 1898, a hydroelectric power station was constructed at the site, transforming the original 4-meter waterfall into a six-step cascade formation.
The cascade serves as an educational site where visitors learn about the geological formations of the North Estonian Klint and limestone structures.
A suspension bridge crosses over the Loobu River at the cascade, providing access points for viewing the water formations from different angles.
The cascade reveals multiple Ordovician layers in the riverbed and banks, creating natural geological exposures known as the Joaveski outcrop.
