Tere!

There were hot days with around 30 degrees in Estonia even in July 2021. Usually there are only a couple of days with 30 degrees in Estonia, and it happens in June. I was planning to go to Keila waterfall, but I was unwilling to do it under the strong sun. However, for a few reasons, I changed the plan, and did go to Keila waterfall!

Keila waterfall isn’t that far from Tallinn city centre. You can go to Keila waterfall if you have some free hours because there is nothing but a supermarket around Keila waterfall.

I actually have wanted to go to Keila waterfall for a long time, and I thought of going there last summer when all of my travel plans were cancelled due to COVID-19. However, probably because of the fatigue from work, I was uneager to go although I planned instead.

This time I planned to go to Keila waterfall on one Tuesday in July. That Monday was less hot, but it seemed to rain, so I chose Tuesday. However, it didn’t rain at all, and it was all sunny. Plus, it was reported that it would be more than 30 degrees again on that Tuesday, so I decided to go to Keila waterfall when it was less hot and more comfortable.

To go to Keila waterfall, you can take just one bus basically. Also there are multiple bus options.

I knew that there’s (almost) nothing around Keila waterfall, so my plan was to see the waterfall, and that’d be it. Fortunately there were busses that were suitable for my plan.

First of all, I took a bus from the town. To go to Keila waterfall, I chose bus 108 at around 3 pm. You need to get on from the front of the bus, and tell the bus driver where you want to go. (In this case, tell them “Keila-Joa”.)

It costs 2.30 euro.

I think it cost 3 euro when I went to Rummu. I can’t remember properly though. You can google-translate to read this article about Rummu.

After enjoying approximately one hour on the bus, I got off at the bus stop called Keila-Joa. Then I walked to the waterfall, which took less than 10 minutes.

I was wondering about where the waterfall was, though I could hear the water-falling sound. Then I realised that I was not walking toward the waterfall but walking along the water running direction. (I was walking using a map, so it wasn’t a mistake.)

In other words, there was the waterfall when I looked back.

I spent about one hour, being relaxed with negative ions.

When going back to the city centre, you can take a bus from the bus stop opposite to the one that you got off when arriving there.

The return bus was not 108 but 127. The route was a bit different, but it stopped at the bus stop that is 10 minutes by foot from my place, so I chose it.

Of course, the return ride cost 2.30 euro, too.

By the way, Keila waterfall is said to be the third biggest waterfall in Estonia. (I read it somewhere but I don’t know the source.) However, it didn’t look that big. This is so Estonian though.

Jagala waterfall that I went to with my friend three years ago was bigger!

But at least I could be relaxed, I think.

When you come to Estonia, and have a little time, consider going to Keila waterfall.

Aitäh! 🙂
