Valgejõgi

Valgejõgi is a river in northern Estonia. Its source is in Lake Porkuni in Pandivere and it drains into Hara Bay at Loksa.

Geography

Valgejõgi lacks any major tributaries. Its drainage basin is long and narrow, dominated by forests and wetlands. Agricultural land use is concentrated in the upper section of drainage basin, while forests dominate in the middle and lower sections, where the river borders the Põhja-Kõrvemaa Nature Reserve and flows through Lahemaa National Park. The towns of Loksa and Tapa are the only significant settlements on the river.

Nõmmeveski Falls

19 km upstream from the river mouth the river flows over the Baltic Klint, forming Nõmmeveski Falls. The waterfall and Nõmmeveski Canyon are a popular tourist destination in Lahemaa National Park.
