Virtakas rock

Also called the Red Rock.

Up to 15 m high sandstone outcrop on a ca. 300 m long section of the right side of the primeval valley wall. At the feet of it there is a 2.5 m high, hollow-like cave. On the other bank of the river there is the much smaller Zirņu Rock.

The Virtaka Cliff carvings were discovered in 1986 by local cave researcher Guntis Eniņš. It’s hard to get an exact estimate of how old these pagan symbols and marks are because historical records of them are lacking.
