Sietiņiezis, Protected sandstone cliff in Vaidava Parish, Latvia.
The sandstone formation extends for 500 meters along the right bank of the Gauja River, reaching heights of 15 meters above the water level.
The cliff obtained its name from the numerous holes created by bees throughout centuries, resembling a sieve pattern in the sandstone surface.
The geological monument serves as an educational site where students and researchers study the formation processes of Latvian sandstone structures.
Visitors can access the cliff through marked trails between Valmiera and Jāņmuiža, with designated areas for campfires near the Gauja River bank.
The northern section features small caves, erosion-formed gullies, and sandstone columns where the Gauja River makes a natural turn at the base.
