You will notice Velna ala (Devil’s cave) also called small Staburags of Latgale (ancient cult place) in the right side of the Vīce river. It is a small natural geologically unique formation (length – 3m, width – 2m, high – 0,6m). There are only two such caves in Latvia. There are 5 – 6 m long stalactites.
