Tori Hell Cave
Tori põrgu
Red Devonian sandstone cliffs and caves on the Pärnu River, known in local legend as the 'gateway to hell'.
Tori 'Hell' is a site of red Devonian sandstone cliffs and caves beside the Pärnu River, in the village of Tori. Local legend holds that it is the entrance to hell, and it was a famous attraction during the Romantic nationalist period in Estonia. Most of the cave has collapsed. Today you can follow a riverside path to see the sandstone cliffs, a suspension bridge and the river views. Nearby are the Tori Stud Farm and St. George's Church, a memorial church to the Estonian War of Independence. It is about 25 km from Pärnu and makes a good half-day outing.
