The Zemgale region is a fertile flatland.  There are many modern farms, including some that will allow you to learn about life in the countryside and the heritage of agricultural history.  You will start your trip and then take the "Milky Way" route to a dairy farm.  Next you will visit Jelgava, the former capital of the Duchy of Courland from the 16th to the 18th century.  The history of the town can be discovered via an interactive exhibition in the steeple of the St Trinity Church in Jelgava, from which you can also get a good view of the city from a 9th-floor platform.  Next you will visit a farm where you will learn about Latvia traditions and bake bread together with the lady of the house.  From there, the route will lead to a grain farm, where you will find a collection of dairy processing equipment and a playground for children.  You can spent the night in a field of grain or a design hotel that has a traditional farm and a collection of restored old automobiles.  Along the way, you will stop in Bauska to see its City Hall and its collection of ancient measuring equipment.  Grain traditions will really be appreciated at a farm that uses its own grain and roughly ground flour to produce a wide range of traditional foods.  Finally, you will visit a collection of tools, farm equipment and household items that are all typical of Latvia's countryside.

The word zivis means fish, and the name of the street is derived from a fish market that once existed at the end of the street near Kurši Square.  There are old log warehouses in the yard of Zivju Street 4/6 and the yard of Peldu Street 2.  One of the most popular destinations for tourists is the Latvian alley of fame for musicians (since 2006), with bronze replications of the palms of hands of 35 Latvian musicians.  There are ten plaques dedicated to popular bands in Latvia, with five others focusing on musicians who have passed away.  The largest guitar in Latvia is right nearby.

Where the little Rumbiņa river flows into the Daugava (on the left bank of the little river opposite the Lielvārde park), there is the Dievkalns castle hill that has been reduced by the waters of the Daugava.  It is also known as the Cepure hill.  According to antiquities that have been found here, representatives of Baltic tribes lived here from the first millennium BC to the 6th or 7th century AD.  The level of the Ķegums hydroelectric power plant can be reached by a staircase from which the best view of this object can be found.

Vieta, ko nekādi nevar uzskatīt par tūrisma objektu, bet tajā pat laikā tas ir Latvijas mērogā nozīmīgs kultūras un vēstures piemineklis, ko nevar nepieminēt! Laikā no 1923. – 1943. gadam muižas pilī atradās Latvijā zināmākā mājturības skola, kurā mācījās izslavētās kaucmindietes! Tagad muižas pils ir pamesta, avārijas stāvoklī un apskatāma tikai no ārpuses un „pa gabalu”. Ap 1780. gadu celtā pils, kas 1909. – 1912. g. tika pārbūvēta pusloka būvapjomā, ir Latvijai diezgan unikāls arhitektūras paraugs.

Saimniecība atrodas Ziemeļvidzemes biosfēras rezervātā, netālu no Burtnieku ezera. Tajā audzē kazas un gatavo kazas sieru. Saimnieki rūpīgi seko līdzi dabas procesu ciklam un ciena dabai draudzīgu dzīvesveidu. Papildus sieram sezonāli iespējams iegādāties arī upeņu ievārījumus, zāļu tējas un vilnas izstrādājumus.

Sieri

Tiek piedāvāts baltais, svaigais kazas siers bez piedevām. Tāpat pieejama kazu piena karamele - smēriņš.

Kā top siers

Siers top ilgi un pacietīgi visa gada garumā no pašu saimniecības kazu piena. Tā ir pilna cikla saimniekošana: saimnieki stāda, ravē un novāc ražu, ēd paši un dod ēst kazām. Kazu dziļās kūts uzkrājumi katru rudeni tiek vesti uz lauka, lai katru nākamo gadu “atdzimtu” ēdamajos dārzājos.

Apmeklētājiem

Tā kā kazu pienam ir sezonāls raksturs, piedāvājumā divu veidu apmeklējumi:

  • piena sezonā: kazu masāža ačgārnā virzienā, stāsti par un ap kazām, to piena produktiem, kazu piena produktu degustācija;
  • īpašais piedāvājums - meistarklase - iespēja pašiem sasiet savu personalizēto sieru, ko pēc sūkalu nospiešanas iespējams saņemt ar aukstumskapju pakomātu starpniecību;
  • piena "nesezonā": pārgājieni ar kazām, stāsti par un ap kazām, kopēja tējas vārīšana uz ugunskura - tēju izdzer apmeklētājs, biezumus apēd kaza vai āzis.
Kur iegādāties sierus

Saimniecībā uz vietas, Slow Food Straupe tirdziņos, Vidzemes lielākajos gadatirgos.

The Kelme Estate is one of the last remaining provincial estates in Lithuania.  Designed in the Baroque style, it is a large and closed estate farm with many authentic buildings, gardens and bodies of water.  The geometric park is a vivid example of Baroque style, and it is divided up into various parts by alleys.  There is a viewing mound in the park.  Most of the trees are ancient, indeed, but the best part of the estate is behind it -- one large and three smaller ponds, as well as a viewing mount that is in the ancient park.

Back when the Baltic Sea was part of the ancient Littorina Sea, the coastline emerged as a small and shallow shore that was formed 4,500 to 5,000 years ago.  The coastline has little rocks and gravel that have preserved typical examples of fauna from the Littorina Sea.  The ancient cliff is best seen at the Dobeļi homestead in Kaltene.  This is one of a few parts of the shore of the Bay of Rīga where there was an abrasion coastline during the era of the Littorina Sea.  The shallow bay is popular among birds which feed and rest here during migrations. (Source: Roja TIC)
