Ērģeļu (Ērgļu) Cliffs

Approximately 7 km north of centre of Cēsis. Ērģeļu cliffs are the most monolith sandstone cliff wall in the Baltics: ~ 700 m long (around 330 m is on the River Gauja), max. height reaches 22 m. From the viewpoint of the cliffs there is a spectacular view towards the north and west of the primeval valley of River Gauja. The name of the cliffs stems from the echo which is said to have sounded like organ. Recently a massive landslide has happened at the eastern end of the cliffs, which is proven by large sandstone blocks at the feet of the cliifs. This means standing under the cliff is dangerous. At present the vicinity of the cliff is being facilitated.
