Witches’ Cliffs

On the left bank of the Vaidava River, 8-10 m high, up to 100 m long sandstone detritions have formed — the Witches’ Cliffs (Raganu klintis). In their lower part the river stream has eroded small niches. In the nearby surroundings there are many weird nature objects: the Werewolf’s Pine-Tree and the Twin-Pine-Trees, the Witches’ Broom, the Witches’ Circles, the Witches’ Bones, etc. (Tourism Development State Agency, 2012b). A gathering place of local significance. Already back in 1924, E. Kurce included it together with the two springs flowing out of it into the list of Latvian cult sites, and J. Urtāns shared this opinion later on (1977).
