Keila-Joa Park nature trail (2,1 km)

Harju County, Surroundings of Tallinn Recreation Area
  • The use of paper confetti is prohibited in Keila-Joa Park!
Keila-Joa Park nature trail starts at the parking area, goes along the riverbank, passes the waterfall to the corner of the park closest to the sea, and then returns to the parking area.  All in all, it makes a 2-3 hour walk in a unique park forest.
Keila-Joa park is a popular destination among brides and grooms. It was a custom to attach padlock to the suspension bridge to symbolize the commitment to each other.
In 2013 the stairways and suspension bridges were renovated and the padlocks removed. This was due to the padlocks causing rusting on the bridges.
In 2015 the hearts sculpture by Estonian artist Mati Karmin was opened. The sculpture will be finished as new padlocks symbolizing commitment and everlasting love are gradually added to the construction.
The nature trail is marked with red dots on the trees.
