Approximately 7 km from Cēsis, best reached by bike. From the signpost "Ērgeļu klintis" it is best to continue on foot to the shore. Here, the Gauja again makes a nice curve and you can photograph the highest elevations of the 700m long sandstone cliffs directly from the river bank well.

Impressive sandstone cliffs form the banks of the Gauja here. From the vantage point you have a wide view over the wonderful river 👍

The Gauja covers with 452 kilometers of all rivers the longest distance on Latvian territory. In a sandy riverbed, the river flows through the Gauja National Park and ends at Carnikava in the Gulf of Riga.
