General presentation
Paldiski et falaises de Pakri
Limestone falsies, military heritage and coastal waterfalls on Tallinn's western great escape.
To understand what Paldiski and Pakri cliffs are, you must look at the side of Falaises de Pakri, Cascade de Keila and Abbey de Padise. These places give you a view of a territory marked by the coastline, heritage and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Must-see place
Falaises de Pakri
The cliffs of Pakri expose the limestone of the northeastern klint above an open and often windy sea. The gaze follows the layers of rock, seabirds and the shoreline line, with necessary caution near the friable edges.
Waterfall
Cascade de Keila
At Keila-Joa, the river crossed a large limestone step before continuing towards the sea, in a park and manor setting. The flow changes sharply according to the season: powerful curtain after the rains, thinner tablecloth in dry times, ice carved in winter.
Nature and scenery
Abbaye de Padise
The abbey of Padise preserves the fortified ruins of a Cistercian monastery, with vaults, stairs, bare rooms and thick walls in the heart of the village. The stone tells of a religious life as much as defensive, in a place more austere than decorative, whose levels are gradually discovered.
