The Red Rocks or Raiskuma Rock are located in the Gauja right bank massif about 0.5 km up the Gauja from the old Raiskums or Lieplejas pub building.

The rock stretches for several hundred metres and is red in colour, which is why they are called the Red Rocks. The cracks in the rocks break up the red rock, creating an extraordinary work of natural art. Their surface is quite jagged, which creates small caves and niches in the rocks. The sandy strip of rock breaks only in the middle, dividing the impressive cliffs into two. Several springs flow from the cliffs. One of them is the Roaring Spring, which breaks out of the ground with a peculiar roar. Many explorers come to get the water from Rūcamavota.

The Red Rocks are a protected geological natural monument, located in the Gauja National Park. A well-maintained trail stretches to the spring and further along the lower edge of the cliff, at the beginning of which there is a small car park.
