Rummu Submerged Quarry and Coastal Cliffs Day Tour

Explore the northern Estonian cliffs, Paldiski city and the submerged Rummu quarry. 

During this tour you will:

  • see beautiful coastal cliffs, waterfalls and alternative abandoned sights all during one day tour;
  • visit Keila waterfall – third most powerful waterfall in Estonia;
  • hike along northern Estonian coast and admire the view on the cliffs over the sea;
  • explore hidden remains of Peter the Great's Naval Fortress and walk through its underground rooms (fitness level recommended);
  • drive through the Soviet-era industrial city of Paldiski and see its Russian Orthodox church;
  • explore the unearthly Rummu submerged quarry and have a opportunity to hike around the mountain, created from the waste of the prison industry (fitness level recommended).

Join this diverse tour that combines beautiful nature and hiking along the coastline with alternative sights from the Russian and Soviet history in Estonia. Visit an abandoned naval fortress which is now tucked away in the forest, but where it is still possible to explore the dark underground tunnels as well as the massive concrete structures above the ground. Continue the tour to Keila waterfall which is located in a peaceful manor park with charming bridges and walking paths. Drive through the mostly Russian-speaking city of Paldiski and get a feel of its industrial Soviet-era neighborhoods. Take a break at a local restaurant where you can order Estonian food for lunch.

Continue the tour to Pakri coastal cliffs and see the red lighthouse looking over the vast Baltic Sea. It is optional to buy a ticket to the lighthouse to climb to the top or to walk all the way to the Pakri waterfall. As the last stop on the tour, drive to Rummu submerged quarry. Climb up the sandy hills for a view over the entire crystal clear lake and the submerged houses. As you return to Tallinn, you can think back to the day filled with nature, alternative off the beaten path sights and history that you could not have found on your own.
