Farm Maizes māja near Cēsis, where you can gain joy, strength and vitality! This tourism farm offers cognitive and educational programmes for adults and children, introducing them to the traditional Latvian lifestyle and intangible cultural heritage. At Maizes Māja, groups of students, families, friends, and tourists become members of the family and have a lot of work to do, for example, bringing firewood and firing the oven, before baking rye bread or sweet and sour bread from Kaupo rye flour in a proper bread oven. When the work is done, a nice meal is enjoyed together.

The Baltic Sea gave this territory one of the old names of Jūrkalne – Felixberg, and people still talk about the interesting legend that is the origin of the name.  Several wrecked ships have been found in the Baltic Sea off the coast of Jūrkalne.  An exhibition in the museum visualises the underwater world as the deck of a ship that has sunk into the depths of the sea.  The exhibition focuses on the cultural and historical heritage of underwater Latvia, allowing visitors to learn all about the history of sailing ships, steamships and other objects that have been raised from the depths.  Small children will start to learn about the underwater world, and researchers with broader knowledge will find something new here.

The Pīlādži farm is in the Durbe Parish of the Durbe Administrative District.  It is primarily a grain farm, but also breeds livestock and grows flowers and vegetables.

The graveyard that is alongside the Lestene Lutheran Church is the final resting place for more than 900 soldiers who fell during World War II, particularly during battles at the so-called Fortress of Kurzeme, as well as in Zemgale and Vidzeme.  The sculptress Arta Dumpe designed the commemorative monument “Mother Motherland – Latvia.”  The cemetery of the brethren is the second largest resting place for soldiers from World War II after the Cemetery of the Brethren in Rīga.  The names of some 11,000 soldiers are engraved on the gravestones.

Dievukalnā atrastās liecības vēsta, ka šajā vietā pirms 3000 gadiem bija apmetušās baltu ciltis, bet 7.-9. gs. pie Daugavas jau apmetušās lībiešu ciltis. Daugavas klinšainajā krastā (pirmo reizi pieminēta 1229. g.) Rīgas bīskaps no laukakmeņiem uzbūvē pili, kuras drupas apskatāmas arī šodien. Lielvārde dod iedvesmu tādiem atmodas laika kultūras darbiniekiem kā Andrejam Pumpuram (1841-1902) un Auseklim (1850-1879). 1. pasaules kara laikā (Daugava gandrīz trīs gadus ir frontes līnija) Lielvārdi pilnībā noposta. Pēc 2. Pasaules kara kā jau arī citur Latvijas teritorijā, te sākas kolhozu izveide. Šajā laikā Lielvārde kļūst pazīstama ar vēl vienu simbolu – „Lāčplēša" alu. Šodien Lielvārde ir to ceļotāju iecienīta, kas savu maršrutu izvēlējušies veikt gar Daugavas labo krastu.

Divstāvīgā ēka ir redzama no Dundagas – Ģipkas ceļa (ap 3,7 km no Ģipkas ciema). Šis nav tūrisma objekts, bet gan vēsturiska vieta, kurai vērts pievērst uzmanību kaut vai no attāluma. Ēkas pirmajā stāvā no 1860. g. darbojās skola, kurā par skolotāju strādāja rakstnieks Antons Austriņš. 1867. g. tai uzbūvēja otro stāvu, kurā uzsāka jūrskolas izveidi. Jūrskola darbojās līdz 1894. g., kad to pārcēla uz Mazirbi.

Atrodas paaugstinājumā - skaistā vietā – Alūksnes ezera krastā pie Pleskavas ielas (P 40). Pieminekli 1923. gada 20. jūnijā atklāja Valsts prezidents Jānis Čakste. Tas celts pēc tēlnieka J. Miesnieka meta. Pieminekļa centrā ir attēlots vairogs ar krustotu zobenu, bet pamatnes daļā – uzraksts „Par Latviju kritušiem 7. Siguldas p. Karavīriem. 1919. – 1920”. Tā otrā pusē ir uzraksts: „Labāk manu galvu ņēma, nekā mūsu tēvu zemi”. Padomju laikā (1953. g.) pieminekli nojauc. To atjauno 2009. gadā.
