The Dviete Wetlands Nature Park contains a unique natural territory – the ancient Dviete River valley with the Lake Skuķi and the Lake Dviete and the surrounding wetland meadows. During flooding season, these wetlands store up waters from the Daugava River. They absorb a lot of floodwater at first and then slowly return it, thus reducing the level of floods in the Daugava River valley. This process is the reason for the unique ecosystem which exists in this area. It is an important location for plants and birds both during migration and nesting season. The river valley is important for birds during migration and nesting. In 2006, wild cows were released into the meadows. There is also work to improve the tourist infrastructure in the area.

The great Black Plague rock, which has engraved text that can still be seen to a certain extent – it tells future generations about the local pastor who died from the plague, about how the parsonage was established at Sīkrags and then moved to Mazirbe. The rock is also a monument to six pastors of the nearby congregations. All the three stones tell about the horrors of the Black Plague in 1710, the texts have been engraved during the parson Peterson in 1711-1734.

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.

The Rumbula airfield was originally a military facility, established after World War II at a place where many single family farms had been before. When the Spilve airfield shut down, civilian aircraft moved to Rumbula, while military aircraft were based at the Rīga airport. Today the world “Rumbula” is most often associated with the automobile and spare parts market that has been established on part of the former airport’s territory. A certain “heritage” at the site is pollution from the former airfield’s fuel containers, where petroleum was stored. Paragliding occurs at the airfield.
