Trīs lielāka izmēra laukakmeņi – aizsargājami dabas pieminekļi, kas atrodas Matsalu līča krastā starp Sāstnas (Saastna) un Metskjulas (Metsküla) ciemiem. Tuvējā ceļa malā ir izvietots informācijas stends un norādes, bet līdz akmeņiem var nokļūt pa iezīmētu taku. Pēc kāda tautas nostāsta, lielas vētras laikā, kas notikusi Jaungada naktī, lielais akmens sašķēlies trīs daļās. No tā arī cēlies vietvārds. Apkārtnē redzamās pļavas ir nozīmīga daudzu augu sugu dzīves vide un svarīga putnu ligzdošanas un atpūtas vieta. Šī iemesla dēļ taku drīkst apmeklēt tikai no 1. jūlija līdz septembra beigām. Akmeņi ir arī labi redzami no minētā ceļa. Tie ar ledāju atceļojuši no Turku (Somija) apkārtnes.

The Krustkalni Nature Reserve was established in 1977, and the diversity of plants in the region is based both on the terrain – the Madona-Trepe embankment, a series of hillocks with low areas among them, swamps and small lakes – and on the biotope – natural meadows, forest glades, places where underground streams bubble up to the surface, and vast areas of forest with very old stands of trees. Some 800 types of plants have been defined in the reserve. It can be toured only in the company of a guide from reserve headquarters, and one must apply in advance. Visitors can visit the Krāku streams, Lake Svēte-Dreimaņi, and other sites.

The rock is along the main street of Krāslava and is found at Augusta Street 12.  After major reconstruction of the city’s infrastructure, the rock was successfully integrated into the surrounding landscape.  The rock is 2.8 m long, 2.2 m wide and 700 cm high.  It once served as a border stone for the village of Krāslava.  It was placed there in 1729 to commemorate the day when the noble Plater dynasty bought Krāslava.  The dynasty’s seal is engraved in the side of the rock along with the date when it was installed.  Legend has it that Polish King Augustus II dined at the rock after a hunt, and that is why it is known as Augustus’ Rock.
