Hiking

The Ķūķu rock is made of red sandstone and can best be reached from the boat. Accessible by foot from the Līgatne-Kārļi road (from there a small forest road turns towards Gauja, see signpost). The Ķūķu rock is the largest sandstone exposure of the Devon in Latvia: 500 meters long and up to 43 meters high. You also have a good view of the natural tent from the other shore.

Hiking

Sandstone can be found everywhere on the Gauja and in Latvia and shapes the water color. Opposite the rock is a small beach with barbecue areas that invites you to linger.
