Address:

The Liepniekvalka caves are also known as the Peldanga labyrinth, and it is the longest natural labyrinth of caves in Latvia. They are made of sandstone, and streams created an atypical labyrinth of caves and underground passageways.The labyrinth is approximately 5 m high and 20 m wide, made of grey sandstone from the area. It is a complex and narrow system of subterranean caves with five entrances. The total length of the passageways is 70 m. The labyrinth has one larger and two smaller branched rooms which are linked by tunnels. There are several pillars and poles of sandstone in the cave. These days, the caves can only be viewed from the exterior, because the deeper passageways are very narrow and full of sand.
