Aluoja Falls

Aluoja Falls

Before the little Mägara stream reaches the valley of the Pühajõgi at Pühajõe village, it tumbles down five limestone steps, together about 5.8 metres high and 5 to 10 metres wide. The drops are small, the tallest under two metres, but just above them the stream has cut the Aluoja canyon, roughly 700 metres long and ten metres deep, into the plateau. The ledge is protected as a natural monument, a small but complete staircase of water in the landscape of the North Estonian plateau.

Enne kui väike Mägara oja Pühajõe külas Pühajõe orgu jõuab, kukub see alla viiest paekiviastmest, mille kogukõrgus on umbes 5,8 meetrit ja laius 5–10 meetrit. Astmed on madalad, kõrgeim alla kahe meetri, kuid veidi ülalpool on oja uuristanud lavamaasse umbes 700 meetri pikkuse ja kümne meetri sügavuse Aluoja kanjoni. Astang on looduskaitse all – väike, kuid terviklik veetrepp Põhja-Eesti lavamaal.
