Alekšupīte Waterfall
Alekšupītes ūdenskritums
One of Latvia's highest waterfalls, about 4 metres tall, cascading beside an old mill between the old town and the Venta River.
Where the Alekšupīte stream flows into the Venta River, it forms a waterfall about 4 metres high beside the castle mill, which is considered the highest waterfall in Latvia. The old mill building has been restored, and nearby are the castle garden and the district museum. From the old town it's only a few minutes' walk along the stream, and it can be explored together with the Venta Rapid and the brick bridge. It is also lovely in winter, when the water freezes. Free admission.
