Skaņaiskalns, Protected geological site in Skaņkalne Parish, Latvia

The Skaņaiskalns cliff rises 20 meters high and extends 90 meters in width along the Salaca River, featuring smooth sandstone surfaces.

The Devils Cave, stretching 16 meters in length, contained archaeological layers that were studied during the late nineteenth century before sand covered them.

The Dream Stairs path leads to a bridge where local traditions encourage visitors to count steps while making wishes according to regional customs.

The circular nature trail spans 3 kilometers through the park, allowing visitors to explore sandstone outcrops, caves, and springs in about two hours.

The cliff produces the strongest echo effect in Latvia when speakers and listeners position themselves at specific points facing the rock formation.
