Das Tal des Flusses Vējupīte ist für die Reisenden gedacht, die sich vor mehreren steilen Holztreppen nicht fürchten, die an den steilen Hängen des Tals führen. Wenn wir hinter dem Gästehaus Līvkalns absteigen, dann kommen wir an der flachen (3,6 m), aber hohen (6,1 m) Höhle Pētera ala (die Höhle von Peter), die einer Spalte ähnliche Nische ist. Wenn wir etwa 10 Minuten flussabwärts (Richtung Gauja) gehen, wird das linke Ufer des Flusses von dem tiefen Tal Pūču grava (Eulental) durchgespaltet, wo der Fluss Kraukļupīte (Rabenfluss) fließt. An der Stelle, wo sich die beiden Täler zusammentreffen, erhebt sich der Burgberg von Satezele (Hügelfläche 90 x 75 m), wo sich am Anfang des 13. Jhs. die Burg aus Eichenholz des Lehnsherren Dabrelis befand. Der Haupteingang war auf der westlichen Seite des Burgbergs. Von den Tiefen des Tals Pūču grava kann man zum Burgberg eine Treppe hochsteigen. Um das Tal Kraukļu aiza (Rabenschlucht) zu besichtigen, muss dieselbe Treppe herabgestiegen und der Weg Richtung Gauja genommen werden. Das Tal Kraukļu aiza ist das Seitental des linken Ufers von Vējupīte mit bis zu 11 m hohen und eindrucksvollen Sandsteinwänden, wo sich die 5,2 m tiefe Höhle Kraukļu ala (Rabenhöhle) herausgebildet hat. Wenn wir noch etwa 10 – 15 Minuten gehen (den Fluss Vējupīte auf hölzerne Brücken überqueren), kommen wir an einer Treppe, die auf den Hügel Paradīzes kalns (Paradiesberg) führt (die Beschreibung siehe vorher bei der Nr. 7). |

On the right bank of the Bērze River and in the western part of Dobele, the castle hill and its fortified forecastle were occupied between the 10th and 13th centuries, with an ancient town at its foot (currently the square between Tērvetes Street and the Liepāja highway). As was common, the Livonian Order used this ancient Semigallian castle hill to build a brick castle between 1335 and 1347. The castle was sacked during the 18th century, and its fairly impressive and beautiful ruins have been conserved. A viewing platform is part of the charm. |

The road leading to this estate is reminiscent of a narrow mountain road with a deep river valley alongside it. The estate used to be known as the Libe Estate, and the buildings that are seen there now belonged to a nobleman, Magnuss. The mansion has a Neo-Gothic glass tower which is known as an architectural curio among specialists. The Sarkaņi Parish Council sits in the mansion. The granary is the work of a local enthusiast, Andris Trečaks, who has collected a series of ancient objects. Outside the granary is a very broad view of the “lower” Lubāna flatlands, resembling a painting with an empty frame. |

The itinerary brings you directly to where local specialities are produced so that you can enjoy them freshly made and authentic.

On this tour, you will become a true expert of the traditional and modern Latvian and Estonian cuisine. As the farms producing foods are often located in beautiful nature areas, you will combine culinary and nature experiences on this tour.

The Rauna cheese factory is owned by Ceriņš family, and for the past 10 years it has offered high-quality and nutritious products to its consumers – cheese, butter and macaroni. The most popular product is “Green cheese,” in which one of the main ingredients, fenugreek, grows in the factory’s garden. Fenugreek is a perennial with five leaves and blue flowers. While the new shoots are soft, they are dried in a wood-fired drying house. Then the fenugreek is ground up, sieved and added to a mass of protein that is put in thin layers in special wooden boxes and allowed to dry. After the fenugreek is added, the cheese gets its typical taste, colour and smell. Groups of 10 or more can apply in advance for tours of the factory and learn about how the cheese is made. |

The word zivis means fish, and the name of the street is derived from a fish market that once existed at the end of the street near Kurši Square. There are old log warehouses in the yard of Zivju Street 4/6 and the yard of Peldu Street 2. One of the most popular destinations for tourists is the Latvian alley of fame for musicians (since 2006), with bronze replications of the palms of hands of 35 Latvian musicians. There are ten plaques dedicated to popular bands in Latvia, with five others focusing on musicians who have passed away. The largest guitar in Latvia is right nearby. |

Ļoti skaists un ainavisks etnogrāfiskais ciems Balošas (Baluošas) ezera ziemeļu krastā, netālu no diviem iepriekš minētajiem ciemiem. Te apskatāmas interesantas un skaistas koka ēkas, kas celtas no guļbaļķiem, ar niedru vai lubiņu jumtiem un izrotātas ar dažāda veida dekoratīvajiem elementiem. Pirmo reizi rakstos Šumini minēti 1784. g. Savu vārdu ciems ieguva no kādreiz dzīvojošas ģimenes uzvārda. Kā interesantākā ir jāpiemin sena klēts. |
