Less known and a bit more remote (there has to be taken several kilometers walk to reach it) but not less impressive cliff at Amata river - it's overal height is calculated even up to 40 metres which makes it one of the highest cliffs in Latvia.
| MAIN FACTS | |
|---|---|
| LOCATION | Latvia, Amata parish |
| CLIFF TYPE | Sandstone |
| HEIGHT | 40 metres |
| LENGTH | 300 metres |
| RATING (7,7/10) |  |
It's also one of the newest cliff in Latvia, because the first testimonies about it appeared only in 1950ies - before that, Dzilnas cliff wasn't mentioned in any sources, although Amata river valley was well explored and documented in a book already in 1930ies.
Dzilnas cliff is rapidly changing due to active processes of erosion and suffosion. Nowadays they seem to be stopped, and the cliff is overgrowing with vegetation - so soon there could be only a "green blanket" as it has happened with many other Latvian cliffs and outcrops.
