Viens no raksturīgiem karsta parādību piemēriem, kur nelielas upītes - strauta ūdeņi pazūd vairākos ūdensrijējos un pēc kāda brīža - iespaidīgās Lauces ielejas krastos iznāk spēcīgu avotu veidā, tālāk ieplūzdami Lauces upē. Šī parādība dinamikā vislabāk ir novērojama pēc lietavām vai pavasaros sniega kušanas laikā un kādu brīdi pēc tam. |

Салаца с точки зрения водного туризма является интересной рекой, на которой даже в период маловодья будут радовать береговые ландшафты и объекты осмотра, а также многообразие самой реки. Для похода на лодках самыми привлекетельными будут окрестности Мазсалацы и участок Мерниеки – Вецсалаца, где на карте видны топонимы, связанные с заколами. Заколы (лат. tacis) – бывшие места ловли миноги – это та уникальность, характерная только для Салацы на участке реки ниже впадения реки Иге. В наши дни о прежнем существовании заколов свидетельствуют топонимы – Гедерту тацис, Жвигулю тацис и др. Заколы для миног строили в местах, где река самая мелкая, самая узкая, более богата островами и стремнинами, поэтому топоним «тацис» означает также самые интересные обстоятельства для сплава. Сами заколы сохранились только в нижнем течении реки у Салацгривы. Ночлег в основном на стоянках для водных туристов (в палатках). Маршрут проходит по территории Северовидземского биосферного заповедника. Информация о маршруте от Latvijas Lauku forums |

"Līdumkalni" atrodas Ķurbē -Kurzemes ziemeļrietumu daļā, starp Dundagas mežiem un Ķurbes lielo silu, zaļu pakalnu vidū, 15 km no jūras un ne pārāk tālu no debesīm. Šeit laiks rit lēni. Tas nevienu nesteidzina. Laika pietiek, lai vērotu Dieva radīto pasauli un ieskatītos Viņa bagātajā aptiekā. Laika pietiek lai iepazītos ar kristīgajām tradīcijām un dzīvesveidu, lai iegūtu praktisku lūgšanu un meditāciju pieredzi. Laika pietiks arī veselīgas maltītes pagatavošanai lauku virtuvē vai uz ugunskura un pašam savas gleznas uzgleznošanai gleznotājas darbnīcā. |

This landscape offers evidence of the geological history of the Baltic Sea. There is a high-type swamp (the Pēterzers swamp), along with remnants of an old narrow-gauge railway. Wooden pathways have been installed along the swamp and the surrounding wetlands. |
