(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
In a short 1-hour drive from Tallinn we reach a small village in Lahemaa National Park. Joaveski, situated in a naturally idyllic area, was first mentioned already in the year 1510. Centuries ago there used to be a small water mill that was owned by a local manor. In Joaveski you can find the ruins of a historical sawmill and also a hydroelectrical powerplant that’s still running today. We admire the peaceful village and our first waterfall at the start of our hike. Joaveski waterfall was changed from the previous 4-meter drop to a sequence of six cascades during the construction of the sawmill.
Vosu-Nommeveski Hiking Trail
We hike through the thick forests of Lahemaa National Park. We let ourselves be immersed in the natural beauty. Every now and then we pass some quaint farmhouses surrounded by powerful woods. We continue our way to the next waterfall.

We have reached the next waterfall. Nõmmeveski waterfall has the highest flow rate of all the waterfalls in Lahemaa. The powerful Nõmmeveski is 1.2 m (4 ft) high, 17 m wide (56 ft) and the surroundings are just breathtaking. Foaming water and many cascades in a magical canyon create a primordial feel.
