Connections for Baltic Klint
Baltic Klint by Roman Bruehwiler

The Baltic Klint is a coastal landform that reaches from Öland in Sweden to Leningrad Oblast in Russia.
The Klint, as a dramatic escarpment, was created by erosive action of water (fluid or frozen) over 2 million years ago. Estonia’s tentative site comprises the so-called North-Estonian Klint, a 250-300km long stretch of that wider area. The North-Estonian Klint is characterised not only by the steep cliffs known as ‘klint’, but also by its distinct limestone coast forests (Estonia clivosa) and numerous waterfalls.
