Zartapu waterfall

Location: Talsi district, Dundaga municipality, Zartapi stream, in nature reserve

Zartapu waterfall. One of best kept semi-secrets in Latvia's nature - unusual and very beautiful waterfall, especially scenic because of the red dolomite as it's base cliff. The waterfall is easily accesible from road - there are a wide pathway leading to the waterfall which is just a few hundred meters inside the forest.

Waterfall is made unusual by the colors of exposed rocks - maroon and livid coloured argillac dolomite. These are the oldest exposed rocks in Latvia belonging to the early Devonian period. Argillac dolomite is comparatively soft material - even this small stream is eroding it. Now the stream has created around 15 m long, canyon. In this canyon there is one more small step.
