The Baltic Klint is actually the North Estonian Klint, a site that has been on Estonia’s dormant Tentative List since 2004. Although we have put in a good community effort to pinpoint locations (the official description has none), it still takes a fair bit of study to decide where to go and examine these bits of klint. Philipp already put me on the right track, as in his recent review he stated, “The best way to see the Baltic Klint according to my research would be to follow the Saka-Ontika-Toila road to see the Ontika Landscape Reserve.” The rediscovered official website filled in the rest of the details of my visit.

During my late Summer 2025 explorations of Estonia, I visited 4 spots in this area, of which the first 2 hardly deserve a sentence:

1. Kõrkküla Klint Plateau: “From the side of Tallinn-Narva Highway at Kõrkküla Village opens a beautiful view”. I found the parking lot here along the main highway, but for me, these were just normal, distant sea views.
2. Purtse Klint Bay: “the klint bay narrows from 1.5 km to become an app. 200-m-wide klint valley”. This is mostly a low-lying sandy beach, plus a watchtower that seems to belong to a private villa/hotel. The inlet to the bay can be seen, but again, nothing special to the untrained eye.

I had higher expectations from the third component on my list: Saka. It is advertised as a “Beautiful trail on the beach, approx. 2.5 km”. It is located …

The best way to see the Baltic Klint according to my research would be to follow the Saka-Ontika-Toila road to see the Ontika Landscape Reserve. The Klint goes along the sea there and is clearly visible.

As I was restricted in time and had a car with limited miles, I settled for a closer proposed component: the Tsitre Muuksi. And boy, this was not easy to find. First I drove to the Tsitre vaatetorn, a watch tower close to the beach. The beach is nice, with forest right behind it, but no klint visible. I did some internet research on spot (coverage is really good in Estonia) and found a map on a local website, that marked the beach as "Cambrian Blue Clay Terrace" with the Cambrian Terrace a bit further inland. On Google Maps I found the Muuksi linnamägi (hill fort). I figured hill equals klint and went there. Sure enough I found the klint. After the monument for the hill fort (image 3 on maps) there is a small path leading you into the forest. YOu actually walk along the top part of the Klint. With some climbing and getting stung by a million moscitoes I managed to snap some pictures of the Klint.

Was it worth the effort? Probably not. If this ever gets inscribed, I would likely go back and visit the Ontika landscape. At least I got in some beach and some hiking in the forest, which is never a bad thing to do.
