An ancient cave that was a tourist destination as early as the 17th century. At that time, the trend emerged to immortalize oneself in soft sandstone. The cave is decorated with partly very old carvings. The Latvian legend of the Rose of Turaida is also set here.

According to legend, the tragedy around Maija, the Rose don Turaida, is said to have taken place here. She was lured into the cave with a fake letter that was said to come from her fiancé Viktor, but was actually written by two soldiers with clear intentions. To save her virginity and honor, she claimed to have a magic scarf, which is why she couldn't be harmed. As evidence you should hit them with the sword. After lying there covered in blood, the men recognized their mistake and fled. Viktor buried Maija under a linden tree and he was never seen again.
