Water Wisdom Hike: Kostivere Karst Area, Jägala Waterfall, Linnamäe Hydroelectric Power Plant & the Canyon
Have you ever wondered where water really “disappears”? On this Water Wisdom Hike, you’ll get the answers — and yes, limestone can be exciting (for real!).
Route: Kostivere karst area → Jägala Waterfall → Linnamäe Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP) and the river canyon. Guided by a nature guide.
With the guide, you’ll explore groundwater and the water cycle in a nitrate-sensitive area, talk about water filtration, and learn how limestone forms.
What you’ll see (in real life, not just in a textbook):
-
karst formations in the Jõelähtme River bed: a “stone mushroom,” karst fissures, a “striped” rock wall, and caves
-
a fossil field and a quick peek into Earth’s geological history
-
why clean water is a value worth protecting
Suitable for: families, friends, and teams. Come and let nature make you a little wiser — with zero exams involved!
