    In a short 1-hour drive from Tallinn we reach a small village in Lahemaa National Park. Joaveski, situated in a naturally idyllic area, was first mentioned already in the year 1510. Centuries ago there used to be a small water mill that was owned by a local manor. In Joaveski you can find the ruins of a historical sawmill and also a hydroelectrical powerplant that’s still running today. We admire the peaceful village and our first waterfall at the start of our hike. Joaveski waterfall was changed from the previous 4-meter drop to a sequence of six cascades during the construction of the sawmill.

    Nommeveski

    We have reached the next waterfall. Nõmmeveski waterfall has the highest flow rate of all the waterfalls in Lahemaa. The powerful Nõmmeveski is 1.2 m (4 ft) high, 17 m wide (56 ft) and the surroundings are just breathtaking. Foaming water and many cascades in a magical canyon create a primordial feel. Deeper in the canyon you’ll see ruins of an old hydroelectric power plant. Here you’ll get a taste of clean spring water. Fill up your bottles with healthy natural water!

    We continue hiking in the woods. North-Estonia is relatively flat, yet on this stretch of the hike, we have a few beautiful hills to go up and down. We enjoy the surroundings walking on the edge of a peaceful canyon, making photo stops along the way, admiring the wildlife, listening to birds, having some snacks… It is said that the Three Waterfall Hike in Lahemaa National Parks is like walking in Lapland nature. Vasaristi waterfall is a cute, small yet beautiful waterfall oftentimes left unnoticed among the others. Close by the stream disappears into natural sinkholes and flows underground for about 200 m. How amazing is that?! We make our way back to the start of our hike. Hiking in the Lahemaa National Park is truly reenergizing and one of the best activities to do in Estonia for any nature lover.
