Despite its impressive width, it stands only about 1.8 to 2.2 meters (6 to 7 feet) high. This natural wonder is not only a picturesque sight but also holds cultural and historical significance. The waterfall has been a vital part of Kuldīga's history, contributing to the town's development and serving as a natural barrier and fishing ground.
