Dangerous places: You must not approach the upper part of the cliff outcrops located on the Kakumäe Peninsula because rockfalls occur regularly as a result of the waves washing away the outcrops. The cliffs consist of unconsolidated sedimentary rocks (mainly sandstone). You can encounter rockfalls and landslides! Military fortifications can be viewed from the outside. The beaten track can be washed away after storms. Be careful when crossing bicycle lanes!
