Neliela apdzīvota vieta ar skolu, bibliotēku un veikalu. Ziemeļos no Vīdales redzamas vējdzirnavu paliekas. Dodoties Rīgas jūras līča virzienā, ceļš šķērso Šlīteres Zilo kalnu krauju ar iespaidīgiem skatiem bezlapu laikā un smilšakmens atsegumiem. Pa kreisi redzams Zilo kalnu avots – labiekārtota ūdens ņemšanas vieta. Ceļu, kas iet no Vīdales uz Melnsila pusi, vietējie sauc par Knipeldambi. To it kā būvējusi vācu armija 1. pasaules kara laikā, liekot uz ceļa apaļkokus un apberot tos ar granti. |

The Krimulda Castle was built in the latter half of the 13th century. It was located where the right bank of the ancient Gauja River valley is split by the deep Vikmeste ravine. The castle was owned by the council of archbishops from Rīga, and it was an impressive structure with a large interior courtyard and a defensive wall that was 1.5 m thick. The Swedish military blew up the castle when retreating in 1601. Today the castle hill is forested, and only a small fragment of the castle wall can still be seen. It is near the ruins that you will find the Sigulda aerial tram and the Krimulda serpentine road – the only object of its kind in the Baltic States. |

The Volkenberga Castle was built in the 13th century by the Livonian Order, and it was practically impregnable, as it was on top of Mākoņkalns hill. These were among the first fortifications in Latgale, and only fragments of the castle remain today. Architect Pēteris Blūms has said that this was a special type of fortification. Legends say that after the lord and lady of the castle died, the property was divided up among their three daughters – Roze, Lūcija and Marija. Each sister built a new castle on the land which she inherited – Roze built Rēzekne, Lūcija built Ludza, and Marija built Viļaka. A memorial plaque at the foot of Mākoņkalns hill recalls the visit which pre-war Latvian President Kārlis Ulmanis paid to Latgale in 1938. |

Information about this stream dates back to the mid-18th century, but people used it much earlier than that. People donated money to the stream after washing or drinking the water. During the first half of the 19th century, the baron of Tirza and the local church waged a battle against pagan traditions, though not very successfully. There is now a canopy over the stream, and people still drink its water. |
