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!

A bit less than one kilometre from the Aizkraukle castle hill, the church can be seen from the Rīga-Daugavpils highway (A6).  The church was built in 1688 on the steep banks of the Daugava River Valley, and old Daugavpils road can still be spotted.  Between 1896 and 1899 the church was rebuilt in Neo-Gothic forms.  Inside is an important altar painting by Augusts Annuss, “Lord Help Us, We are Sinking.” There are memorials to local people such as Col Jorģis Zemitāns and Archbishop Arnolds Lūsis.  A legend says that the steeple of the church is crooked because it was hit by a German military plane during World War II.

Rehtšprehera siers top Siguldas novada Lēdurgas pagastā, zemnieku saimniecībā “Mazlauri”. Siera ražošanai saimniecībā pievērsās 2015. gadā, meklējot jaunu izaicinājumu un iespēju radīt produktus ar pievienoto vērtību. Siers tiek gatavots pēc itāļu receptēm un nogatavināts 2–12 mēnešus, ievērojot tradicionālās metodes – īpašā telpā, uz egles koka plauktiem, kontrolētā mitrumā un temperatūrā.

Sieri

Cietie sieri (nogatavināti 6-12 mēnešus): Grand Marine, Gouda 8 mēnešus gatavināts.

Puscietie sieri (nogatavināti 2-4 mēnešus): Gouda (pieejams ar linsēklas eļļas pārklājumu vai ar speciālu siera pārklājumu), Tallegio (pieejams ar balzamiko etiķa pārklājumu vai speciālu siera pārklājumu), Toskāna, Sorento.

Daži sieri ir pieejami arī ar piedevām, piemēram, melnajām ķimenēm, pipariem, tomātiem un baziliku, tomētiem, ķiplokiem un oregano. Daļai sieru ir ēdama miziņa.

Uz vasaras saulgriežu laiku tiek gatavots arī kas līdzīgs Jāņu sieram – nogatavināts siers ar ķimenēm. 

Kā top siers

Siers tiek gatavots no pašu saimniecības govju piena – kopumā saimniecībā ir 90 slaucamas Holšteinas melnraibās šķirnes govis. Rehtšprehera siers top no tikko slaukta, nepasterizēta govs piena, kas tūlīt pēc slaukšanas tiek nodots pārstrādei. Tas ļauj saglabāt piena dabisko garšu un raksturu.

Apmeklētājiem

Saimniecības apmeklētājiem iespējams redzēt un dzirdēt patiesu stāstu par to, kā rodas piens un siers - kā uztur piena lopu ganāmpulku, kā audzē pilnvērtīgu, uzturvielām bagātu barību, ko nozīmē govju labturība, lai iegūtu ekstra klases pienu, un kāda ir praktiskā puse, dzīvojot un saimniekojot laukos. Noslēgumā ieskats siera ražošanā un siera degustācija.
