Until 1724, the Cecina semi-estate belonged to the Hilsen dynasty. When daughter Jadviga married Jans Šadurskis, the estate was recorded as the Malnava Estate in 1774. Ownership of the estate changed hands several times. The mansion is built in the style of Classicism with Baroque elements. The granary is on one side of the yard, while the mansion is on the other side. During agrarian reforms in the 1920s, the estate was one of the largest ones in Latvia, covering 12,400 ha. The mansion was damaged during World War Ii, and the original interior design was lost during reconstruction. Among other buildings, the granary, built in the style of Classicism during the first half of the 19th century, has been preserved, as have several other buildings. The park of the estate has exotic bushes and trees, as well as two cement bunkers, one of which was briefly visited by Adolf Hitler. The estate also has a vodka distillation facility where you will learn all about the process from antiquity to the present day. |

It is worth hiking this road where in crosses the Šlītere Blue Hills. This part of the road is approximately one kilometre long, and it goes down to the valley of the stream which crosses the hills. The place has been given a peculiar name – the Kušperlankgrāvis ravine (or the Zeltiņi ravine, as is claimed in other sources). If you're driving, be careful, because there is no bridge here, just a ford. During the early spring or the winter, you will appreciate the ravines and the impressive Blue Hills themselves. Impressive sandstone cliffs which are several metres high and have been vandalised by human hands are on both sides of the road. There is a small niche in one of the cliffs. To the right (East) from the road at the terrace of the Blue Hills is a side road which leads to the Mežlīdumi homestead. Please be gentle with the cliffs! |
