Geocache Description:


[LV] Skanstupīte ir maza upīte, kura sākas mežainā apvidū pie Spīganas stacijas, savukārt ietek Daugavā. Īsi pirms ietekas, Skanstupītē atklājas trīs pakāpju ūdenskritums, ko veido Daugavas svītas dolomītu kaskādes. Aptuveni 4-6 metrus platais un 1,5 metrus augstais ūdenskritums atrodas blakus 17. gs Zviedru skanstei, kurā šobrīd ir izveidots Pļaviņu Draudzības parks un nelielā pilsētas estrāde. Šis ir viens no nedaudzajiem mazo upīšu ūdenskritumiem, kurš ir vērojams gandrīz visu gadu, taču īpaši krāšņs tas ir pavasara un rudens daudzūdens periodos.

Pats slēpnis ir pavisam maza lock&lock kārbiņa, paslēpta zem skatu platformas Skanstupītes malā. Automašīnu iespējams novietot kādā no blakus esošajiem piebraucamajiem ceļiem abās pusēs Lielajai ielai. Veiksmīgu slēpņošanu!


[EN] Skanstupīte is a small river that starts in a wooded area near the Spīgana station and flows into the Daugava. Just before it flows into the Daugava, there is a three-step waterfall in Skanstupīte, formed by the cascades of dolomite beds in the Daugava suite. The waterfall is approximately 4-6 meters wide and 1.5 meters high and is located next to the 17th century Swedish tower, which now houses the Pļaviņu Friendship Park and a small city stage. This is one of the few small river waterfalls that can be seen almost all year round, but it is particularly beautiful during the spring and fall high-water periods.

The cache is a very small lock&lock container hidden under a viewing platform on the bank of Skanstupīte. You can park your car on one of the adjacent driveways on both sides of Lielā Street. Good luck with geocaching!
