A engraved Boulder mentioned in several legends. It bears the Coat of Arms of the Archbishop Vangelis of Riga, 'terminus ante quem' 1437. Used as a border stone for some time. Mentioned in writing in 1794.
Easily accessible by car, about half-way between Rīga and Daugavpils along the highway A6. See Google Maps or similar : the stone stands on the side of an old road, now disused and replaced by the highway.
Information board nearby.
Ancient-monuments 'afficionados' will use this spot as a resting place, despite the (not too dense, in fact) traffic on the highway.
