For visitor attention

The visit to the Zvārtes rock is for an entrance fee, also for the pedestrians entering the area by pedestrian trails both from the Geological trail along the Amata River and Kārļi fish farm, as well as from rehabilitation centre "Skaļupes". The trail is foreseen only for pedestrians!

We kindly ask the visitors who intend to use the resting places in the close surroundings of the Zvārtes rock to take grills, coals and firewood with them because it is not allowed to set up campfires there.

We inform you that it is not possible to stay overnight in the surroundings of the Zvārtes rock. As an alternative you can use the watertourist campsite „Amata”.

We kindly ask you to care for nature and tourism facilities, as well as to leave your resting place in good order, so that the next visitors would stay there with pleasure!

Thank you for your cooperation!
