Incēnu Cliff

To find the beautiful Incēnu Cliff, walk along the right bank of the Amata River. The path meandering between the trees will take you to the beautiful natural formation. Incēnu Cliff can be recognised by the very steep river bank with clear water springs, which playfully gurgle and quietly echo in the distance.

From afar the ancient Incēnu Cliff seems to be split into two parts — the northern and the southern. This illusion is created by the Amata River, which approaches the cliff in two supple curves.

Incēnu Cliff timidly reveals only a small part of its sandstone rock, located in the northern part of the cliff near the Amata River. Elsewhere, it is completely covered with small and larger trees that weave into a marvellous green fabric for the sunrays to play in

Incēnu Cliff can be seen from the Amata River bank on the Amata Geological Trail in Drabeši Municipality.
