A tour of professional farms to offer a look at modern and technologically developed farms.  During the introductory day, participants will tour Rīga, which is part of the UNESCO List of World Heritage, and the Rīga Central Market, which is one of the largest closed markets of its type in Europe.  The next day there will be a meeting with specialists from the Latvian Agriculture Ministry and agricultural NGOs.  Next we will tour an ecological facility for farm waste, which is a pan-European initiative in the context of which heat that is manufactured is used to heat greenhouses, thus ensuring an ideal environment for farming (flowers and tomatoes).  We will visit innovative farms that collect birch juice for products such as biological birch juice wine (rose, semi-sec), biological birch juice foaming wine, birch juice lemonade, and syrup.  The next morning will begin with a visit to a farm that produces high-quality vegetables and potatoes, successfully dealing with the storage and sale of it produce, as well as with logistical aspects of the process.  Along the way, we will visit the ruins of the Koknese castle, which is on the banks of Latvia’s legendary Daugava River.  We will also visit a farm that grows hemp for various food products.  We will spend the night at an aristocratic estate that is now a complex for accommodations and spa treatments.  The next morning, we will be off to one of Latvia’s newest beer breweries for a tour and tastings.  Around noon, we will visit a farm that manufactures co-generated biomass head during the winter and heats greenhouses.  We will return to Rīga in the evening.

Redāns ir 19. gadsimta beigās celtā Liepājas Jūras cietokšņa daļa, kur notikušas Latvijai nozīmīgas cīņas. Lai gan uzbūvētie nocietinājumi ap Karostu tika atzīti par stratēģisku kļūdu un vairums no tiem saspridzināti, Redāns palicis teju neskarts. Tā ir arī vienīgā nocietinājuma daļa, kur notikusi reāla karadarbība.Par liecina ložu šautie caurumi sienās.

1919. gada 14. novembrī šeit notika brīvības cīņas par neatkarīgu Latviju, aizstāvot Liepāju pret Bermonta karaspēku. 14. novembra rītā, pārejot aizsalušo Tosmares ezeru, bermontiešu kājnieki ieņēma Redānu. Taču dažu stundu laikā liepājnieki veica niknu pretuzbrukumu, un vāciešiem nācās atkāpties.

Jūnijā, jūlijā un augustā katru dienu plkst. 11.00–17.00 pie Redāna gaidīs zinošs gids, kas būs gatavs pastāstīt vairāk par Liepājas cietoksni un vēsturiskajiem notikumiem Karostā. Cena – 2 EUR no personas.

Built around 1625. For several centuries it was the main worship place for the Suiti community, supporting the community's spirituality and identity. In 1882 the church was expanded into the form of a cross that is seen today. Inside the church you can see work done by the Dutch wood carver Johann Mertens around 1715. The organ was built by F. Weisenborn in Jēkabpils in 1893, and the altar painting dates back to 1910. The bricked graveyard of the Schwerin dynasty is under the church. Contact it in advance if you wish to see its interior.

The Suiti are a community with among the most colourful and unique cultural traditions in Kurzeme and Latvia.  This was confirmed on October 1, 2009, when the cultural territory of the Suiti was included in the UNESCO list of global intangible cultural heritage, thus indicating that the traditions must be preserved.  The Suiti territory is also on the list of folk traditions that is part of the Latvian Cultural Canon.  Manifestations of this intangible cultural heritage include traditional festivals, habits, oral traditions, traditional singing and musical skills, folk costumes and culinary traditions.  Since 2009, the Suiti community has been undergoing a renaissance, with people actively working to restore traditions and ensure their sustainability and promotion at the local, national and international level.  The survival of the cultural territory is in the hands of the Suiti themselves, and this is closely linked to the practices and the creativity of community representatives.  The Suiti believe the development of tourism in their area to be of great importance in this.  This means emphasising a niche in cultural tourism that is based on the broader promotion of the unique cultural heritage of the Suiti.

This is a comparatively large lake (3 km long and 1.3 km wide).  It is shallow (no more than 1.1 m deep) and is classified as a seashore lake.  The Vecslocene River flows through it.  At the southern end, there is a narrow stream which connects Lake Sloka with Aklo Lake – a shallow and small lake with a dolomite bed at some locations.  The best view of Lake Sloka can be seen from the bird watching tower on its north-western shore.  This is the only floating bird watching tower in Latvia.  Alongside it is the beginning of the 3 km Lake Sloka hiking trail, which passes through the flooded wetlands of the lower reaches of the Vēršupīte.  An information stand can be found on the shore of Lake Sloka by the car park.  Beyond it is a sulphurous spring.

Im Burg-Komplex von Cesis trifft die Vergangenheit auf die Zukunft. 
Die mittelalterliche Burg bietet eine wundervolle Gelegenheit, 800 Jahre in der Zeit zurück zu reisen. Hier könnt ihr den Westturm mit kerzenbestückten Laternen erklimmen, einen guten Blick auf den Burggarten und den Park gewinnen, hinunter in den Kerker steigen, und auch dem Schmied beim Erschaffen lettgallischen Schmucks in der alten Schmiede zuschauen. 
Direkt neben den imposanten Ruinen steht das Neue Schloss, ein Herrenhaus aus dem 18. Jahrhundert. Heute befindet sich darin das Kunst- und Geschichtsmuseum von Cesis, wo die Ereignisse der letzten 800 Jahre veranschaulicht werden. Hier befindet sich die allererste Flagge Lettlands, die ersten Münzen der Stadt Cesis, eine beeindruckende Innengestaltung im Stil des Biedermeier, sowie die einzige historische Rekonstruktion des Gesichts einer Frau, deren Skelett in der mittelalterlichen Burg gefunden wurde. Einen großartigen Abschluss des Burg-Besuchs bietet der Lademacher-Turm mit seinem atemberaubenden Ausblick auf die Stadt.  
Der Park am Fuß des Burggeländes wurde ursprünglich als privater Garten vom Schlossbesitzer Carl Gustav von Sievers gestaltet. Der Park ist wie eine Zeitmaschine, und fernab des modernen Alltags könnt ihr in seinem Schutz die Seele baumeln lassen. Jeder kann das Besondere spüren, das diesem Ort innewohnt, und sich in unbeschreiblicher Wonne am Teich entspannen. 
In kurzer Entfernung, direkt am Stadtzentrum gelegen, befindet sich der Mai-Park. Dieser ist mit seinen erleuchteten Fontänen und den schwarzen Schwänen, die hier leben, ein essentieller Bestandteil der städtischen Landschaft. Es ist auch ein idealer Ort, um sich mit der Familie zu erholen, denn im Park gibt es einen Spielplatz mit vielen Möglichkeiten zum aktiv werden.

Košrags wird als das jüngste livische Dorf des Küstengebietes angesehen (im 17. Jahrhundert gegründet). Im Jahr 1826 gab es in Košrags 78 Einwohner. Im Jahr 1832 wurde in Žoki die erste Leseschule für livische Kinder in den Küstendörfern der Region Dundaga eröffnet, in der als Lehrer der erste fachlich ausgebildete Live Nick Polmanis arbeitete, der im östlichen Dialekt das Evangelium nach Matthäus übersetzt hat. In Košrags gab es eine Windmühle, eine Wassermühle und Bootswerften. Im Frühjahr legten hier Boote mit den Arbeitssuchenden von der Insel Saaremaa an. 1932 wurde der Hafen ausgebaut und 1938 eine Mole zur Sammlung von Seetang errichtet. In den 30er Jahren des vergangenen Jahrhunderts wurde Košrags regelmäßig von finnischen und estnischen Linguisten besucht, die hier die meisten Einheiten livischer Folklore gesammelt haben. Das Haus Norpiedagas wurde vom gesellschaftlichen Arbeiter livischer Abstammung, Didriķis Volganskis (1884–1968), erbaut. Dort wurde sein Sohn geboren, livischer Kulturarbeiter, Pfarrer (Finnland) Edgar Vaalgamaa (Volganskis, 1912–2003), der das Epos „Lāčplēsis“ (Bärenreißer) von A. Pumpurs ins Finnische übersetzt hat. Heute ist Sīkrags ein nationales Kulturdenkmal.
