The picturesque part of a well defined and deep river Brasla is one of the most charming creations of the nature in Latvia. Below the city of Straupe river Brasla flows within an old valley and on the banks of the river the mighty sandstone cliffs with caves and niches are revealed. During winter, impressive icefalls form on some cliff outcrops. The most picturesque part of Brasla is below fish nursery dike. Here, nearly on every turn, majestic cliffs arise, the river flows in a peculiar 300m wide and 30m deep “canyon”.
The geocache is placed in a very beautiful place and is freely accessible throughout the year, but the icefalls can only be seen during a winter or an early spring. When searching in winter, please take extra care, because it might be EXTREMELY slippery!
