From the 6th century until the 8th century instead of the current Grobina the largest known Scandinavian trade and warrior colony in the Baltic States was located. Settlers from the inlands of Gotland and Sweden established their settlement at the hillock that was then located at the bank of the navigable Alande River. It is believed that the Cours Castle – Seeburg mentioned in the chronicles of the 9th century was located exactly here. After the loss of the order castle in the 13th century Grobina became the centre of the region. The most ancient construction of the city was formed around Lielā Street, as well as around Saules and Parka Streets. |

The forest around Kaltene features a natural miracle – the rocks of Kaltene, which are also known as the barrier rocks. The rocks are 2-3 m from the sea and date back to the Ice Age. The Devil’s rock is the largest one. It used to be a beautiful pile of rocks that “stretched to the tops of the trees.” In older maps it is described as being 20 m high. It had many natural rocks, including some that were completely round, while others resembled plates. The rock was almost completely destroyed in the 1960s and 1970s, when it was chopped up to build roads. A fairly small part of the rock survives today, and it is 300 m long and 2 m high. Scientists believe that these rocks used to be sacred locations, because there are many legends and stories about them. There is a forest path with wooden pathways, information stands and a small car park there. (Source: Roja TIC) |

Bārbeles sēravots tiek dēvēts par vienu no pirmajām kūrvietām Latvijā, proti, jau ap 1650. gadu hercoga Jēkaba valdīšanas laikā sēravota tuvumā uzbūvēta vannu māja, dēvēta par mazo ūdensdziednīcu, kuru vēlāk arī apmeklējuši visi Kurzemes-Zemgales hercogi. 1739. gadā Rīgas garnizona ārsts Benjamins Teofils Grofs uz Bārbeles sēravotu nosūtījs 10 ievainotus un smagi slimus karavīrus, kas sirguši ar dažādām kaitēm - pēc Bārbeles sēravota vannām karavīri atveseļojušies. Avota ūdeni izmantojuši gan apkārtējie zemnieki, gan muižnieki, gan augstmaņi no Jelgavas. Avotā slimnieki peldējušies, aptriepušies ar dūņām, no tā sagatavotas arī siltās vannas. Tāpat ūdens tika izmantots iekšķīgai lietošanai. Bārbeles sēravots dziedinājis ne tikai skorbutu, locītavu un krustu sāpes, artrītu, pietūkumu, bet arī venēriskās slimības-sifilisu, nervu kaites un daudzas citas slimības. 19. gs. avota ūdenī samazinājās sērūdeņraža koncentrācija. Neskatoties uz to, 20. gs. 20. gados šeit vēl aizvien darbojās vannu māja, tika uzbūvēts arī neliels vasarnīcu rajons, ierīkots deju laukums un parks, kūrorts tolaik tika plaši apmeklēts. Diemžēl, kūrorta noriets seko pēc Otrā Pasaules kara, kad to noposta un vairs neatjauno. Šobrīd par savulaik tik ļoti apmeklēto un nozīmīgo kūrvietu, dēvētu par pirmo kūrortu Latvijā, var tikai iztēloties. Atrodoties pie sēravota, tā laika liecības iezīmējas pēdējās vannu mājas ēkas pamatu drupās, stalti liecinieki arī koki – glabājot sevī savulaik pieredzēto. Sēravota apkārtnē ierīkota atpūtas vieta, informatīvs stends, kurā var aplūkot senākas fotogrāfijas un detalizētāk iepazīties ar kūrorta vēsturi. Tāpat ierīkota laipa, no kuras apmeklētāji var pasmelt avota ūdeni. |

Several of the buildings of the Šlītere Semi-Estate have survived to the present day – the servants' house (late 19th century), the pump house (mid-19th century), the smokehouse (mid-19th century), the cattle barn, etc. A forestry building was built here in 1936 and renovated in 2010. Since the end of 2009, the administration of the Slītere National Park has been housed here. Today the building also houses the Kurzeme regional branch of the Environmental Protection Board. Opposite the building are two yews, and there is a productive ivy which has covered the northern side of the servants' house. The common yew and the Baltic ivy are symbols of Šlītere, and you can see and photograph them here without "bothering" them in their natural environment. The pump house contains a well that is unique in Latvia – it is 34 m deep, which is nearly the height of the Blue Hills of Šlītere. It reportedly was active until the 1970s and delivered water to the forestry system. A fragment of the stone well can be seen as a part of the wall of the pump house. The semi-estate is surrounded by small elements of a park, including an impressive alley of elm trees. Locals says that pre-war Latvian President Kārlis Ulmanis spent the night at the building once while on a hunt. |
