The main value of the conservation area is its geological variety.

* On Kalkahi, the 60-meter-long strip on the bank of the Peetri River is limestone denudations of the Plavinas stratum from the Upper Devonian period. As a natural denudation, the Devonian limestone in Estonia is only uncovered on the banks of the Peetri River.

* In Karisöödi Park, in the precipice the 10-meter-long white and yellowish white sandstone denudation of the Amata stratum can be seen.

* In the lower end of the Karisöödi denudation is situated the Spring Cave, from where, according to a legend, an underground tunnel to Koivalinna Citadel began.

* The Kolga sand stone denudations are located about 150 meters downstream from the Karisöödi Bridge as a precipice 8 meters high and 10 meters wide. The white clod-like sandstone of the Amata stratum is denuded.
