Toila‒Saka The scenic North-Estonian Klint between Toila and Saka

Alternative route choice 07/04/2025 - 07/04/2026

In recent years, as a result of coastal erosion, the rocky shoreline (the so-called North Estonian Klint) has collapsed in places, and clay slides have formed, making it difficult to walk along the seashore itself, where the beach is very narrow or even absent in some sections. During strong northerly, northeasterly, or northwesterly winds, this section becomes extreme, so it is better to choose the road (No. 133: Saka – Ontika – Toila) or public transport operating on that route, which runs above the cliffs of the so-called North Estonian Klint.

One of the most unusual sections of the Forest Trail in Northern Estonia, which leads along the foot of the impressive North- Estonian Klint in good weather, then climbs to the top of the klint in the villages of Valaste and Saka, revealing breath-taking views of the Gulf of Finland from the so-called Viru Rise. In the Saka‒Ontika‒Toila section (about 23 km), the maximum height of the North-Estonian Klint reaches 55 m. If the weather is clear, you can see the isles named Great and Small Tütarsaar, which belong to Russia, at a 50 km distance.
