General information: Mardimiku boulder is situated on a meadow near Jõe Street, about half a kilometre from the centre of Loksa. It offers versatile climbing possibilities for beginners as well as intermediate climbers. There is a good descent route on the back of the boulder. Due to vegetation, bushes, and trees, a crash pad is highly recommended.
How to get there: Distance from downtown Tallinn is approximately 70 km. The easiest way to reach the boulder is to drive along Narva highway until you reach a U-turn that points to Loksa. Follow the small side road until you reach Loksa (approximately 15 km) and take the first right onto Jõe Street after crossing the river Valgejõgi. Drive along Jõe Street for about 200-300m and you will see a meadow on the right. The boulder should be seen from the road. You can park your car by the side of the road.
