Dūkupju waterfall
The running Dūkupju waterfall, whose height is 2.2 meters, is located in Nica county on the Dūkupju stream, which flows into the Barta river, approximately 100-120m from the right bank of the Barta river. In this place, 10,000 years ago, there was a layer of ice about a kilometer thick. As the glacier moved, it carried with it rocks and minerals from the area it moved over. Later, as the ice gradually melts and its movement slows down, the rock material it displaced settles on the earth's surface. This is how moraines, or glacial sediments, were created, which currently cover a very large territory of Latvia. After the retreat of the glacier, Latvian rivers first encountered this rock and formed countless waterfalls that fell over the moraine. Today, such natural formations are a real rarity and can only be found in the Baltics.
The waterfall is worth visiting every year as it will be a little different each time as it gradually moves away from the Bart River.
