Būvēta ap 1625. gadu. Vairāku gadsimtu garumā dievnams bija galvenā suitu kopienas svētvieta, - tās garīguma un identitātes atbalsts. 1882. gadā baznīcu paplašināja uz sāniem, piešķirot tai mūsdienās redzamo krusta formu. Dievnama interjerā ir apskatāmi holandiešu kokgriezēja Johana Mertensa darbi, kas tapuši ap 1715. gadu. Ērģeles ir būvējis F. Veisenborns 1893. gadā Jēkabpilī. 1910. g. tapa altārglezna. Zem baznīcas atrodas aizmūrētas Šverinu dzimtas kapenes. Dievnamu var aplūkot arī no iekšpuses, iepriekš piesakoties. |

Vēl viena vieta Kuldīgā, kas pēdējo gadu laikā piedzīvojusi lielas pārvērtības, jo īstenots bijušās pils parka rekonstrukcijas un labiekārtošanas projekts: izveidotas koka laipas, tiltiņi, informācijas stendi, uzcelta lapene un strūklaka. Parkā izvietotas skulptūras un to grupas (22 skulptūras, autore Līvija Razevska), kā arī redzams izteikts uzkalniņš – pils pagraba velve, kurā pēc iepriekšējas pieteikšanās var degustēt vietējā ražojuma vīnus. Šajā vietā 1242. g. vācu ordenis uzbūvēja mūra pili, no kuras līdz mūsdienām ir saglabājušies tikai atsevišķi mūra fragmenti un minētā velve. Vēlākos laikos šeit atradusies Kurzemes hercoga pils, ko sagrāva Ziemeļu kara laikā (1701. g.). Vasarās pilsētas dārzā demonstrē brīvdabas kino. |

Today there’s a single-family farm and not much else, but at one time Olmaņi was the site of two important coastal batteries collectively known as “Krastnoflotskaya.” Until 1955, the one to the South of Olmaņi, there were four 152-mm Kane type cannons, which were manufactured during World War I and were widely used to protect the coastal territory of the Baltic Soviet republics of Latvia and Estonia during the rule of the Soviet regime. Small concentric ramparts of earth are all that’s left there today. After 1955, to the North of Olmaņi, another battery was installed with four MY-2 152-mm cannons. They had a range of 25 km. The battery remained in battle readiness until 1975, when it was turned into a reserve facility. It’s not easy to find, but it’s worth the search. The platforms for the cannons and the subterranean bunkers are still there. This was indeed one of the most impressive coastal batteries along the shores of the Baltic Sea.

The tour starts at Jaunmokas Castle estate, where you will also find the Forest Museum. The pride of the castle is its unique painted tile stove (beginning of the 20th century) made of 130 painted tiles featuring 50 different views of the cities Rīga and Jūrmala. The Forest Trails runs along smaller tracks through the Austrumkursa Uplands, the valley of the river Slocene, along Lake Sekļa and Lake Jumprava to finally reach the town of Tukums. Well, the town takes pride in its pots, planters and flower beds with blooming roses along its streets. Next, the route meanders through forests to the demanding hillock of Milzkalns and Lake Valguma, where you will find the barefoot trail and a secluded art space within the woods. The Forest Trail continues to make a stopover at the Ķemeri National Park. The park is dedicated to protection of wetlands, since it is home to one of the largest marshlands of Latvia – the Great Ķemeri bog. As to the town – Ķemeri – it is the former balneological and sulphur springs resort. The tour ends in the village of Bigauņciems, where the Forest Trail joins with the Baltic Coastal Hiking Route (E9 European long distance path). Optionally, one can take a detour along the Lake Sloka trail with its bird-watching tower or pay a visit to the “Forest House” – the visitor’s centre of the Ķemeri National Park. |

Setomaa has been inhabited for about 8,400 years, which makes it one of the oldest human settlements in Estonia. It is located on the border of Eastern and Western civilisations, bordering Russia, Latvia and Estonia. Setomaa is famous for its well-preserved traditions and culture. For centuries the local handicraft skills have been passed down within families. Seto polyphonic singing (Seto leelo) is inscribed on the UNESCO List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Setos have distinctive national costumes, rich in detail and unique to each family. Perhaps most impressive is the distinctive array of Seto jewellery. These visually striking pieces not only reflect the social standing of the wearer but are also worn as a safeguard from misfortune. To this day, the Seto lifestyle remains closely tied to nature. It is common practice for the Seto not only to enjoy the natural beauty of the forest but to also use its gifts. Berries and mushrooms are picked freely in their seasons. It is best to start the tour from Võru and finish in Tartu. |

There are both sandy beaches with a good infrastructure and a rock beach in Roja. The rocky beach leads to a huge rock that is 2 m high and 12.5 m in diameter. The coastline is lovely with its scattered stones and its unhurried rhythm of time. At the place where the Silupīte River flows into the sea there are remnants of ancient wooden boats and iron nails. In 1939, Roja became the starting point for a closed zone, because the Soviet army and navy were sited there until 1993. The dunes at Krasta Street feature Soviet heritage, including a large cement wall from which border guards used to monitor the sea and catch those who violated the border. Behind the dunes was a base for border guards with everything they needed. Roja housed a Border Guard post and an air defence radio locator. (Source: Roja TIC) |

During the Soviet era, the 43rd aviation escadrille was located here, and it had 13 MBR-2 hydroplanes. All that’s left today are the cement sheets on the shore of the lake. You can look at the site itself.
