Although Estonia is the smallest of three Baltic states, here are numerous interesting geological monuments.
In most areas of Estonia you could find the bedrock outcrops - in southern part beautiful Devonic sandstone cliffs
in the western islands - Siluric limestone cliffs but in the northern part - impressive chain of Cembrian and
Ordovician cliffs - the famous glint. For Estonia there are characteristic such nature wonders as unbelievably
huge boulders, meteoritic craters, peculiar carst phenomenons... just name the Wonder Well - it may look like general
countryside well, just sometimes over the well-curb is falling spring water in great amounts!
The waterfalls mentioned in this description and known to the author are located in the northern part of the country. Still it is possible that there are small, temporary waterfalls in southern part of Estonia and in islands.
Sandstone cliff at the shore of Lake Peipsi, Kallaste. The waves of the lake have created some 7 m high cliff.
In 2003 there was issued book about Estonian waterfalls. Authors - Kalle Suuroja and photographer - Tonis Saadre. Latvian waterfalls still are waiting for their book...
