Six metres tall and around 70 metres wide, Keila-Joa is the third-largest waterfall in Estonia by volume and the most theatrical of the three — the river breaks over a limestone shelf in two big curtains of brown peat-coloured water. It lies about five kilometres east of Laulasmaa on the Keila River, where the water has cut a deep gorge through the limestone bedrock.
A free park surrounds the falls, with footbridges and a longer riverside trail that runs all the way to the sea. The 19th-century neo-Gothic Schloss Fall manor on the bluff above was the country house of the von Benckendorff family, owners of much of this stretch of coast under the Russian Empire. It is now restored as a hotel and restaurant — drop in for a coffee on the terrace overlooking the river even if you do not eat there.
