Kalamecu – Markuzu Ravines are located 6 km from Gaujiena, in the direction of Estonia.

• Kalamecu – Markuzu Ravines are nationally protected geological monuments. The natural monument was established to preserve a unique geological and geomorphological formation – canyon-like ravines formed in dolomite and Quaternary sediments, classified as ravines.
• The canyon-like ravines feature small waterfalls and dolomite outcrops, offering a true sense of adventure.
  
• The Kalamecu ravine is 240m long, about 10m wide, and up to 12m deep. The Kalamecu stream flows through the ravine (after the ravine, it becomes the Poļaku stream when it merges with another stream), and 7 waterfalls have formed in its bed.
• Markuzu Ravine is 250 m long, 14–25 m wide, and up to 13 m deep.
• The ravines are most impressive during spring floods or after heavy rain.

Important!

• Dolomite overhangs with crumbling dolomite pieces have formed on the slopes of the ravines. Be careful when observing the ravines!
• The ravines are located on private property – respect land ownership!
• Access to the ravines may be difficult in wet conditions, as the road gets muddy.
