Valaste Waterfall

Valaste Waterfall – Estonia’s highest waterfall on the Ontika Cliff!

Valaste Waterfall in Ida-Viru County is Estonia’s highest waterfall, offering powerful nature experiences in every season!

Over 30 meters high, the waterfall is located on the Ontika Cliff, where you can admire both the falling water and the colorful rock layers that have formed over nearly 400 million years. From the staircase and viewing platforms by the waterfall, you get magnificent views of this unique natural wonder.

Valaste Waterfall is especially powerful during the spring thaw, when the water roars as it plunges down from on high. In winter, the place turns into a true ice kingdom – northerly winds blowing from the sea and water spray create marvellous ice sculptures on the cliff’s trees and rock walls.

From the waterfall, stairs lead down to the seashore, where you can walk and explore the cliff's enchanting nature up close.

Come admire Estonia’s highest waterfall and take in the powerful views of the Ontika Cliff!
