Hinni canyon is a ravine 15-20 m in depth. This majestic natural monument in Devonian sandstone is unique in Estonia for its depth. No other deep sandstone canyons are known. The canyon is about 200 m long, 6-10 m wide, narrowing quickly to 3 m. Uniqueness is added by the crisscross of fallen trees and a small cave with a spring. According to the lore, the spring water has a treating and rejuvenating effect. Boardwalk and stairs are provided to access to the narrow and steep canyon.
