- Sietiniezis height doesn't reach above 15 metres. Sietiniezis has beautiful, white color - it consists of quartz sand (one of the theories are, that they are formed in time when there was a tropical weather conditions in Latvia). The cliff is interesting also with the small holes in it made by the bees - thus also it's name (in Latvian it means "the cliff of strainer").
