Kraukļu akmens
Kraukļu akmens submitted by Alta-Falisa : Photo : June 2014. (Vote or comment on this photo)
A modest and unassuming stone lying along a highway.

There are many legends about this stone, including stories about a hidden treasure. Archaeological excavations carried out in 1974 concluded that it is probably a cult stone from 12th or 13th century. The stone is also called Devil's Stone – would you believe it ?

At the T-junction when leaving the highway A6 to enter Skrīveri. Easy to find.
