Waterfall of Jägala

Here I have made a small photo diary about the waterfall what I visited in previous weekend. For me, it gave a lot of good emotions and it was so nice to be and visit. That made me to come idea, to share it also with all my friends. Hope you like what I saw.

Jägala Waterfall (height – 8m) is one of the highest and fastest flowing. Over thousands of years the falling water has worn out the edge of the limestone banks and as a result a steep-sided valley about 300 m long and 12-14 m deep has been created. The oldest written information about a water mill (the beginning of the 13th century) derives from this place. The best impression of the mightiness of the waterfall can be obtained in the period of high waters in spring and autumn.

Absolutely gorgeous photos. I love Estonia! Talinn is one of my favorite cities in Europe.

Yes, agree. Estonia has it's own nice and beautiful places and there is nothing bad in Tallinn either:D Might happen that I make once a photo diary about the city I live as well, what happens to be Tallinn:D
