Dole Island is the largest river island in Latvia, and it is the site of the Dole baronial estate. The mansion of the estate was built in 1898 by the aristocratic family which owned the estate. Today the mansion is home to the Dole Museum with a rich exhibition which tells about the lives of people on the shores of the Daugava River. The adjoining park features ethnographic buildings, as well as lamprey and salmon spawning grounds. There are five unique cannons that were found in Salaspils when a new stadium was being built there. In 1910, a tsarist military camp was here, and a monument to Tsar Peter the Great was unveiled. One of the cannons is in the exhibition of the museum itself.

There are two islands here – Suur Pakri (Great Pakri) and Väike Pakri (Small Pakri). They are 3 km to the West of Paldiski. During Soviet times, the islands were used for target practice by the Soviet air force, which is seen in the many craters and spent munitions that can be found on the island even today. The island is mostly covered with scrappy areas of juniper, but the limestone cliffs at the northern and north-eastern end of the island are quite impressive – as much as 6 m in height.

Aktīvā atpūta svaigā gaisā, dabā. Dabas taka, atpūtas vieta, grilla vietas, lapenes. Lāzera cīņas jeb Laser tag ir spēle svaigā gaisā, ģimenes vai draugu kompānijā. Iegūsiet pozitīvas emocijas un kārtīgu adrenalīna devu, spēlējot augsti tehnoloģisko spēli reālā laikā un vietā. Lāzera cīņas ir visiem labi zināmā peintbola analogs, bet atšķirīgs ar to, ka Laser taga spēlē spēlētājus-pretiniekus “neitralizē” ar drošiem un nekaitīgiem lāzera šāvieniem no lāzera-ieroča, bet pati spēlētāja “neitralizācija” notiek, kad speciāli devēji (sensori), kuri ir nostiprināti uz spēlētāja apsaites, reģistrē pretinieka lāzera-ieroča staru, kas nozīmē, ka nav ne krāsu bumbiņu, ne sāpīgi sitieni, ne zilumi. Šī koncepcija padara Laser tagu pieejamu ne tikai vīriešiem, bet arī sievietēm un bērniem. |

The Rožlejas farm is in the Džūkste Parish of the Tukums Administrative District, where the Eastern Courlandian highlands interact with the Heath lowlands. The parents of the current owner, Jānis Ukše, began work there in 1989, establishing a natural farm to grow sugar beets and then also wheat. Thanks to thoughtful farming, Rožlejas has, over the past quarter-century, turned into one of the largest grain farms in Western Latvia. The owners have taken active part in EU projects to purchase modern equipment and to build hangars for the storage of grain and equipment. The farm specialises in winter barley and winter wheat, using ~1,200 ha of land for that purpose. |

С XV века в Приекуле правил род баронов Корфов. Один из них – Иоганн Альберт Корф (1697 - 1766.) был президентом Петербургской Академии наук (1734 - 1740 гг.), дипломатом и литератором, который занимался исследованием истории Курземе. Приекульский замок находится на западе от улицы Айзпуте, на берегу реки Вирга. Первоначально дворец господской усадьбы построили в XVIII веке, а в конце XIX века велись большие работы по перестройке здания (проект Пауля Макса Берчи). В здании находится Приекульская средняя школа. Примерно в 100 м к востоку от господской усадьбы возвышается смотровая башня усадьбы (построена в конце XIX века), над которой развевается государственный флаг Латвии. |
