Visiting the spectacular Jägala Waterfall in every season is a truly amazing natural experience. It is one of the 7 wonderful waterfalls near Tallinn. This tour also covers the surrounding area, which is choc-full of history, legends and natural attractions. It includes the Saha Chapel, the oldest medieval chapel in Estonia, and Rebala, site of the country’s oldest agricultural settlement. On the way out of Tallinn, we pass through the Lasnamäe district, the city’s largest Soviet-era residential area. The tour also introduces the use of one of Estonia’s most abundant natural resources – limestone – which we’ll see in 3,000-year-old, Bronze Age grave markers, the chapel, the waterfall and even in Soviet-built structures. Lunch is organised in some local tavern or restaurant, where you can try delicious local food (additional fee).

What To Expect

Rebala Centre-Museum

Tallinn is a part of Harju County. One version of how our capital got its old name Reval is that it was named after ancient county of Rebala, which was populated at least 2000 years before Tallinn itself. Today we find a small museum in Rebala, representing the mystical ancient coffin graves from the Bronze Age and explaining the surprising facts about how the graves were discovered.

Saha St Nikolaus Chapel

The oldest medieval chapel in Estonia is called Saha and according to legend it was built by foreign seafarers who were caught in storm nearby and promised to build a church if God rescued them. Although Christianity was brought into Estonia “with fire and sword” in the 13th century, and we are sure that the Saha chapel has been in existence at least since this time, it has been proved that the location was used as an ancient Estonian sacrificial site long before the chapel was built. Even today we can see the mystical stones near the chapel that are believed to bring luck for fertility. Who knows, maybe they work even today.

This trip was great value for money. Our guide, stassi, was extremely knowledgeable about her country and told us many facts. We saw a beautiful old church and a typical Estonian grave yard, very peaceful and in the trees, a 3000 year old uncovered burial site , a lovely wooden bridge across the river, a stop at a local Estonian site in a small fishing village, a hydro electric plant station and the jagala waterfall. A must do tour to see the scenery estonia, tallinn, has to offer ! A beautiful and serene part of the world.
Excellent tour and guide
