Ķūķu cliffs, Protected geological monument in Raiskums Parish, Latvia.
The Kuku cliffs extend 43 meters in height, featuring natural rock formations and a central cave system within the Gauja National Park.
The cliffs earned recognition from ancient river rafters who named the adjacent waters 'Rapid Rocks' due to the multi-level rapids near the rock face.
The geological site represents a key educational resource for researchers and students studying the Devonian period rock formations in Latvia.
The cave located in the middle section of the cliffs becomes accessible exclusively during periods of low water levels throughout the year.
Winter transforms the cliff face as water freezes into natural ice formations across the front surface of the central cave structure.
