See and explore the spectacular nature’s ruins at Dolomite Cliff!

Dolomītu (Dolomite) Cliff is an impressive steep cliff on the right bank of the Amata River.The cliff can be seen from the river bank and the Amata Geological Trail that winds along the top of the cliff.

Dolomītu Cliff looks like a castle in ruins that was once carefully built from solid dolomite blocks tightly stacked one upon the another. But in reality is was created by nature itself!

The cliff is a beautiful steep outcrop that is rather dangerous due to the sliding clay and rocks. It is advised to arrive at it from the top.

It is best to see Dolomītu Cliff together with other surprising natural formations found on the Amata Geological Trail!
