Raunas Staburags, Limestone cliff formation in Rauna, Latvia.
The Raunas Staburags rises 3.5 meters high and extends 17 meters along the right bank of the Rauna valley, displaying a stepped limestone structure.
The natural formation began developing 8,000 to 10,000 years ago when spring water rich in calcium carbonate deposited and hardened in the local soil.
The site holds particular importance as Latvia's last remaining travertine cliff formation following the submersion of the Daugava Staburags in 1966.
Visitors need to follow a marked nature trail and exercise caution during wet conditions, as the paths near the limestone formation become slippery.
The limestone structure continues to grow at a rate of 0.4 to 0.8 millimeters annually due to the constant flow of mineral-rich spring water.
