Silmači ir neliela ģimenes saimniecība, kur no pašu kazu piena top dažādi kazas piena sieri. Siera gatavošana apgūta pakāpeniski – apvienojot vietējās lauku sētas tradīcijas ar zināšanām un pieredzi, kas gūta, pētot un mācoties gan Latvijā, gan ārpus tās.

Sieri

Dažādi kazas piena sieri – no svaigiem un maigiem līdz izteiksmīgiem, kūpinātiem un ilgi nogatavinātiem cietajiem sieriem. Piedāvājumā ir gan klasiskie svaigie sieri, gan sieri ar garšaugiem, kā arī kūpināti sieri ar bagātīgu garšu.

Kā top siers

Siers top no kvalitatīva kazas piena, kas nāk gan no pašu ganāmpulka, gan no uzticama vietējā piena ražotāja. Kazas tiek audzētas lauku vidē un barotas ar dabīgu, pašu sagatavotu barību, kas tieši ietekmē piena garšu un kvalitāti. Siers tiek gatavots no svaiga piena, rūpīgi kontrolējot katru soli – no slaukšanas līdz nogatavināšanai. Katrs siers top ar rokām, ļaujot pienam saglabāt savu dabisko raksturu un pārtapt izteiksmīgā, niansētā garšā.

Svaigie sieri tiek gatavoti pēc vienkāršām, paaudzēs mantotām metodēm, savukārt puscietie un cietie sieri top, iedvesmojoties no senām itāļu un pat Senās Romas laiku receptēm, piešķirot tiem savu raksturu un garšu.

Apmeklētājiem

Iespējams iepazīt kazu saimniecību un siera tapšanas stāstu no pirmavota. Sezonā no aprīļa līdz oktobrim var piedalīties degustācijās, nogaršojot dažādus kazas piena sierus un citus saimniecībā radītos produktus. Apmeklētāji var satikt kaziņas un kazlēnus, uzzināt vairāk par to ikdienu, dzirdēt saimniecības stāstus un kuriozus, kā arī nesteidzīgi izbaudīt lauku vidi. Mazākajiem viesiem pieejams rotaļu laukums.

Tiek piedāvātas arī meistarklases nelielām grupām – no kazas pupa līdz galdam, ļaujot izsekot visam siera, sviesta, biezpiena tapšanas ceļam.

Autumn is a peak bird migration time when huge flocks frequently cross the sky above your head. Cranes perform impressive displays in the fields. There are still some dragonflies and butterflies to see, plus wild animals including wild boar, deer and beaver. The landscape acquires its beautiful autumn colours while we people can enjoy oursleves gathering the wild autumn harvest - mushrooms, cranberries, cowberries and much more.

From Riga the tour goes along the Vidzeme sea coast with areas of Devonian sandstone, coastal meadows and numerous places to watching wading birds. At Salacgriva you visit the traditonal lamprey weirs and can taste them grilled. The tour goes to Seda bog, which is an important nesting site for water birds. Here you might see several types of geese, swans and cranes as well as some mammals and dragonflies. Then the route goes to natural coniferous forests at Mežole with great biological diversity. Next the tour focuses on mushrooms and berries in the Gauja National Park which also provides great views of the river valley with some steep Devonian banks with several medieval castles and manors perched on top. Then the tour goes back to Riga and on to two important national parks. Ķemeri National Park has a Black Alder trail through wet forest, ideal for spotting woodpeckers. In contrast the Big Heath trail passes though a landscape of raised and transit bog and sulphurous springs. At Slītere National Park you have a wildlife day visiting a beaver lodge, tracking variousforestanimals and possibly seeing some of them. Cape Kolka offers excellent costal migration action. The tour goes along the steep sea coast of Jurkalne, stops at Ventspils town for lunch with a bracing walk along its breakwater, then turns inland towards Riga.

The name of the location translates to “Honey Castle,” and the owner has some 300 hives of bees. Honey that he has produced has won a number of prizes.

On the left bank of the Gauja River, opposite the Piķene cliff is the mighty Beite cliff which is split by a deep ravine. On the left side there is Ķeizarskats (Emperor's View), which is approximately 67 metres above the level of the Gauja and offers a fine view of Krimulda and the Turaida Castle. The viewing place was installed in 1862, when Russian Tsar Alexander II visited Sigulda. On the right side of the ravine is the mighty wooden Ķeizarkrēsls (Emperor's Chair).

The Old School of Druviena is alongside the Druviena-Liezēre road. The historical school building became home to a museum in 1964. The school is closely linked to the great Latvian writer Jānis Poruks (1871-1911), and a memorial room to him has been installed in the building. On the second floor, you can look at a classroom, sit on an old-time school bench and try to imagine yourself as a schoolchild long ago. Interesting exhibits include boxes in which children brought food from home – the same ones which were used by two of Poruks’ most popular characters, Cibiņš and Buņģis.

Daugavas aizsargdambju būvniecību Jēkabpilī uzsāka pēc 1981. gada lielajiem paliem, kad ūdens līmenis pārsniedza kritisko - 6,3 m atzīmi un pakāpās līdz rādījumam „8,7 metri”. Šo plūdu laikā puse pilsētas klāja Daugavas ūdeņi. 2011. gada vasarā notika plašāki dambja atjaunošanas un labiekārtošanas darbi. Pie tā uzstādīja laternas, soliņus, izveidoja pastaigu promenādi un piemiņas zīmi Daugavas kreisajā krastā, kas parāda maksimālo plūdu līmeni. Uz aizsargdambja Daugavas labajā krastā ir izvietoti informatīvie stendi, kur var uzzināt daudz interesantus faktus par pilsētas vēsturi. Dambji ir piemērota vieta, kur fotografēt vai gleznot pilsētas ainavas.

There are two islands here – Suur Pakri (Great Pakri) and Väike Pakri (Small Pakri). They are 3 km to the West of Paldiski. During Soviet times, the islands were used for target practice by the Soviet air force, which is seen in the many craters and spent munitions that can be found on the island even today. The island is mostly covered with scrappy areas of juniper, but the limestone cliffs at the northern and north-eastern end of the island are quite impressive – as much as 6 m in height.
