Farmsteads

So-called household farms offer a look at traditional management procedures and a chance to take part in country life. Such farms are subsistence operations, and here the tour or story will be more diverse than is the case with specialised farms. The experience will be different each time, depending on the season of the year, the work that is done at the farm, etc.

  • Many farms offer milk, bread, cheese, fruits, vegetables, honey and berries during the appropriate season.
  • Children can visit and feed the domestic animals.
  • Guests can help with gathering hay, chopping wood, picking potatoes, etc.

Watermill of the Krape manor

The watermill of the Krape Estate is found on the Lobe River in the Ogre Administrative District.  Owners offer tours of the mill so that you can learn how the old mill operates.  You can stroll along the banks of the river or learn about plants in the meadow.  There are places for tenting, but the main operation here is the production of elixirs from meadow plants, production of soy wax candles, production of etheric oils and hydrolats, a well as growing trout and African catfish that can be viewed during the season.  A new thing is SPA services with floating, a halotherapy salt beach and an aromatherapy steam system.

Floating is a unique way to boost your health.  You’ll be dipped into a warm magnesium salt solution, which will allow your body to relax completely in physical, emotional and intellectual terms.  The solution (MgSO4) is very concentrated, and it has a temperature of +37C, which is body temperature.  That’s what makes the procedure so relaxing.  Your body will not sink because of the concentration of salt, and you will float above it like bobber.  You will relax all of your tendons and possibly compressed nerves.  Your limbs will “oil up.”  Your body will receive a very necessary dose of magnesium through your skin.

You can also take part in baking KrapesKrepes crepes – home baked crepes made of milk from one neighbouring homestead and eggs from another neighbouring homestead.  You can also prepare a meal on a Himalayan salt board
