Amazing, not so overcrowded as other cliffs. Trails goes just next to cliff over swamps. It’s safe with small kids, yet trail gets muddy after rains and snow so take high shoes.
A nice trail, short walk <0.5km each direction if want to do an out and back, our roughly 2km to do loop, to the red cliffs and then forest walk back. Easy to do both options.
Parking was close and had plenty of spaces when we visited

Reviews
Raiskums Red Cliffs offer a unique and less crowded experience compared to other cliffs. The trails run alongside the cliffs over swamps, making it safe for families with children, although they can get muddy after rain or snow. Visitors praise the beautiful views, the tasty water rich in calcium and magnesium available on-site, and are surprised by the impressive red sandstone cliffs that exceed expectations. Some mention encountering people collecting water from the spring as if it were precious gold. The loop walking trail starting at a small car park leads to main attractions like springs, red cliffs, and caves; however, some find the forest walk beyond ordinary.Review score

Extremely good water i guess . I saw people at the evening near sunset. By the spring. Still fastly getting the water. I still cant believe it. There was one guy who came by foot from town. He left with two big bags of water. We even joked that that water must be gold priced here :D p.s. the cliffs made and impression . Not what we expected at all. Way better. You will not believe it.
There is a loop walking trail you can follow where the starting point is at a car park (very limited parking lots). The main attractions are at the start of the trail where you see the spring, red cliffs, and caves. The forest walk after the main attractions is pretty ordinary, so you can skip that and double-back to the carpark if you are not keen on long walks.
Do note that the trail can get muddy and slippery, and some portions have shoddy or no fencing, so I do not recommend walking during wet weather.
