Taking the path indicated on the information post, along the left bank of the Karogupīte River mainly through the coniferous forest, after about 300 m we come to the Holy Stone located in the middle part of the slope of the Karogupīte River bank which is 8-10 m high. At this place of the slope, there is a wider, up to 10–15 m deep notch. It is possible that the Stone has been fortified from the upper side of the slope. The Stone itself is cracked, rough grainy; however, there were no signs established on the Stone as mentioned prior in the literature. It seems that the Stone was burnt some day, because pieces of stone have detached form it. The Stone’s foot against the Karogupīte River has been undug a little. Not far away from the Big Stone in NNW direction, there are two more quite big but still smaller stones, one of which is split up. Upwards the slope, there are a couple of small overgrown pits. At the Stone, there is a larger split piece of stone which was loosened from its initial place. When facilitating the path, fallen trees have been sawn and taken away. On the information post, there is information that the Stone is 3.4 m long, 2.1 m wide, 2.75 m high and its circumference is 9.2 m.
