Panga cliff is the highest bedrock outcrop of the Silurian period in Western Estonia and the islands. Its height is 21.3 metres and the bank is divided into two terraces, the second of which lies just inland from a 13 m high bluff overlooking the sea.

What makes the cliff particularly valuable and attractive from a landscape point of view is its relatively large size and the fact that the cliff wall is open to the sea. The Panga Landscape Conservation Area is located here, bordered by the Baltic Sea to the north and northeast and the estuary of the Küdema Bay (an internationally important bird area) to the west, with forested strata forming the eastern and southern boundaries.

There has been no active military activity at the Panga cliff. The Soviet Union's border ran through here and the coastline was therefore closed. The flat terrain provided a good view of the sea.

Today, the ruins of smaller military installations and trenches can be seen along the nearly three kilometre-long military hiking trail.
