DEVIL’S FOOTPRINT ROCK OF AKMEŅKALNI

Nature / landscape

This rock is also known as the Border rock, because for a long time it has been seen as marking the border among the lands of the Dundaga, Ance and Puze manors. The huge rock has a circumference of 17,3 m, a volume of 40 cubic metres, and a height of 3,3 m. Alas, few rocks of this type in Latvia have suffered as much damage as this one has. It is said that its circumference once spanned 30 m, but now it has been split into three parts with several smaller parts that have been chipped away. It is seen as a cult location. Visit the rock to see whether you can see the footprints that the devil left behind
