The monument is on the side of Rīgas Street in the centre of Piņķi.  It is dedicated to May 22, 1919, when, after a pause of nearly two months, a brigade commanded by Col Balodis headed for Rīga to rid the capital city of the Bolsheviks.  The brigade was supposed to receive support from the German Landeswehr, the German Iron Division, and the units of Prince Lieven from Russia.  The first monument was unveiled by Latvian President Kārlis Ulmanis on May 23, 1939.  It was destroyed by the Soviet regime in 1951, but a copy was installed in 2003 (sculptor J. Briedis, copy by O. Skarainis).

Was mentioned in 1387, where it was called Domesnes.  That was the name until the early 20th century.  A ledger at the Irbe-Ģipka church states that there were four farms in Kolka in 1770 -- Krogi, Ūši, Vecvagari and Kabriki.  In 1844, a school for vergers was established, and Nika Polmanis worked there as a teacher.  Kolka's first school was built in 1881, and Livonian Kārlis Bernšteins (1881-1951) worked there for nearly half a century as a teacher.  The Dundaga riots that began in 1859 were led by Livonian Nika Šūbergs (1833-1884), the son of the owner of the Sārnasti farm.  At the end of the 19th century, there were 392 residents in Kolka, and in 1935, 145 of the 343 residents were Livonians.  During the mid-1980s, 13 Livonians spoke their language freely.  Kolka is the only coastal Livonian village that continued to develop during the frontier regime of the Soviet Union, because it was the centre of a fishing kolkhoz.  The number of residents increased rapidly in the 1950s and 1960s because new homes, a school, a people's centre, a kindergarten and several fish processing factories were built there.  Today Kolka has 700 residents and is the largest village along the Livonian coastline.  The "Līcis-93" fish processing factory is there, and local fishermen and smokers of fish work in the village.  The Kūolka Livonian Centre and the Livonian ensemble Laula operate there, as well.  The Ūši farm offers tastings of Livonian foods.

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.

A straight street which runs through Ķemeri in the northwestern-southeastern direction. The street's name is a proof that it is the former historical boundary between the regions of Vidzeme and Kurzeme. Near the intersection of Robežu and Tukuma streets, you can notice the former pharmacy building-the memory of the former resort of the all-union significance. On the walls there has survived the pharmacy-related symbolism.
