About
Jagala Waterfall is a waterfall in the lower course of the Jagala River, approximately 4 km before the river flows into the Gulf of Finland. The waterfall is approx. 8 metres in height and more than 50 metres in width. It is the widest natural waterfall in Estonia.The waterfall is a peculiar sight to see in winter, when the water mass frozen in cold weather becomes a glistening ice wall with large icicles. A tunnel surrounded in both sides by ice may be formed in between the ice hanging down from the edge of the waterfall and the wall of waterfall.Interesting to know:- In terms of fishery the lower course of the Jagala River from the waterfall to the river mouth is one of the most valuable ones in Estonia – large trout and salmon resources can be found here.

Quite relaxing and its a very short walk from the car park so easy to see.
Worth a stop if in the area but not really a destination location.

Nice waterfall for a quick visit from Tallinn. However I found that there is not much to see around. For me it was good that I came on an organized trip so we were visiting Lahemaa national park and the waterfall was on the way. So to go all the way from Tallinn by public transport just to see it, maybe it would have been too much. We were lucky that there was huge amount of water since winter had just ended so ice was melting. But in summer it might be disappointing, the guide said. I prefer Keila waterfall in terms of nice walk and atmosphere to go around.

A picturesque waterfall, worth a visit on a way somewhere. We stopped there for 20 minutes on the way to Tartu, there were only a few people visiting. Beautiful surroundings to have a walk or a picnic.

Wonderful day at Jagala Waterfall. We went in the summer on a warm day. You can see people enjoying a picnic and enjoying the water. It’s easy to access the waterfall from the street. Just walk down a few stairs and you are there. There is also ample parking. Highly recommended if you are visiting Estonia.

Not very large waterfall, but nice. Good background for selfies. Also surroundings of waterfall Lake and Jagala River is attractive for nature lovers.

A nice but not spectacular waterfall. Maybe in spring after a lot of rain it will be more impressive. The third star is for the good path and stairs to the waterfall. There are also some benches with view of the waterfall.

This place is easily accessible from Tallinn. Either a 30-minute car ride or 40-minute bus ride.
We went here during winter and although it was already melting, some parts are still frozen and looked really beautiful. Be careful walking around though, it's a bit slippery.

We caught a bus from Tallinn, missed our stop and ended up walking over 1.5 hours in snow but it was well worth it! Most of the waterfall was frozen over and we were able to walk behind the frozen falls.
Gorgeous!

We went Sunday, Feb 3rd and here was our route
We took the green 151 bus from Tallinn (balti jaam) towards Loksa for 36 min/19 stops and transferred at Joelahtme (this is the one we missed and ended up walking) to the J1 green towards Neeme and get off at koogi for a 10 minute walk.
On the return, we exited the falls and walked back to koogi and caught the green J2 and ride it for 3 minutes/3 stops and transferred at Manisalu. There we caught the green 152 towards balti jaam.
The bus driver on the 152 was an ass. After we missed our stop, he looked up at us in the mirror and shrugged his shoulders. We were blessed to have the same driver on the way back to the city. Ugh. We purchased tickets on the website in an attempt to use the qr code system. It wasn't working and even though we purchased tickets, he shrugged his shoulders and made us pay cash. Shoulder shrugging with no care for others is his thing!
