"Estonia's other waterfall" Keila-Joa by mcblacktiger

Near Tallinn there are two waterfalls that are well known (to Estonians anyways) and are fairly large and interesting. Both are miniture looking naigara falls that were formed in the same manor.The first one, which is also the largest and most well known is Joelahtm?e and it is east of Tallinn. The second one, which is pictured here, is Keila-Joa. Personally I prefer Keila-Joa because it is also part of a large park that has acess to the sea(about 1-2 km walk) and also has an abandoned manor with several buildings near it. Some of the buildings are being renovated and inside one of them there is a small coffee shop that is incredibly cheap. How about a hamburger with fries for $1(15 EEK).

What better symbol of marrige than a "PADLOCK"

Upstream from the waterfall there are two walking bridges where Russian newlyweds place a lock on the bridge with thier names inscribed on it. Each side of the river symbolizes each family and the bridge is thier love and thier marrige is the lock that holds the bridge together. After they attach the lock they throw the key into the river to symbolize thier marrige lasting forever. Unfortunatly the person that told me of the tradition did not know how it had started and I have been told that Russians in Russia do not use this tradition.

• In a nutshell:Nice place for an outdoor walk.
