Located on the right bank of the Gauja, near Vireši, are the Randāti Cliffs, which have been the highest dolomite cliffs in Latvia (26 meters) since the flooding of the Daugava Valley. A nature trail has been established around them with signs and information boards where you can read about the local natural treasures.

• Trail length: 1.2 km
• Old dolomite quarries are located in the northern part of the cliffs.
• During the driest months of the year, it is possible to wade across the River Gauja and connect the Randāti Nature Trail with the Tilderi Nature Trail.
