Plikakalnis outcrop, Geological formation in Karoliniškės, Vilnius, Lithuania.

The outcrop rises 58 meters above the Neris River, forming an erosional cliff with exposed layers of quartzite rocks and glacial deposits.

Scientific research at the site started in the early 1700s with Vilnius University naturalists, followed by notable studies from A. Giedraitis and Dmitrijus Sobolevas.

The Plikakalnio atodanga serves as an educational resource for geology students and researchers who study the Middle Pleistocene period formations.

Visitors can access the site through designated pathways and observe the city panorama from a viewing platform overlooking the Neris River bend.

The outcrop contains transported marine period clays and aleurites from northwestern Lithuania, deposited during multiple glacial periods.
