Tallinn — Jägala waterfall — Kaberneeme — Leesi — Hara — Käsmu — Palmse manor — Viru bog — Tallinn.
Start at the Jägala falls: 50 metres wide and 8 metres high. Local riders call the road from Leesi to Ilumäe one of the best coastal roads in the north. At Hara stand the ruins of a Soviet submarine base, and the short Hara tee is narrow and winding, so keep to your side of the road.
Then Käsmu, the captains’ village, with a maritime museum, and Palmse manor. On the way back is Viru bog: a boardwalk of about 3.5 km and a viewing tower. Take trainers. Motorcycle boots are awkward there.
