      <title>&lt;![CDATA[Forest and Coastal Hiking Trails&#039; accessibility improvement for different social groups]]&gt;</title>
      <link><![CDATA[https://www.celotajs.lv/de/news/item/view/1284]]></link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>On September 18th &amp; 19th, in Riga, 10 Latvian and Estonian tourism organizations met together and started work on a new project - Forest and Coastal Hiking Trails&#39; accessibility improvement for different social groups. The accessibility of hiking trails will be focused on 5 target groups - 1) people with functional impairments (movement, vision, hearing); 2) for seniors; 3) for families with small children, i.e. strollers; 4) for school-aged children; 5) for people with a language or cultural barrier. Trail accessibility will be improved in separate phases.<br />
The project will be implemented over 3 years - from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. The leading partner of the project is the Latvian Rural Tourism Association &quot;Lauku Celotajs&quot;.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Aufgrund des steigenden Interesses in der Bevölkerung an einem gesunden und natürlichen Lebenswandel ist ein neues Tourismuskonzept entstanden, das es Stadtbewohnern erlaubt, für eine Weile in das Leben auf dem Land &bdquo;einzutauchen&ldquo; und vielleicht dadurch eine Veränderung des eigenen Lebenswandels herbeizuführen oder einfach nur ein paar Tage auf dem Land zu erleben. Es dreht sich dabei alles um den ländlichen Lebensstil und eine Veränderung der Sichtweise auf das Leben auf dem Land, wo traditionelle und moderne Werte aufeinandertreffen.</p>]]></description>

It&nbsp;gives an insight of what is planned as well as for whom the project is meant for.</p>

<p>EU-funded SWITCH-Asia Programme Project MOST aims to&nbsp;support tourism MSMEs and associations as well as local and regional authorities in Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kazakhstan towards a new model of sustainable tourism based on the sustainable production and consumption patterns. This will be achieved through the provision of a life cycle and supply chain management approach to sustainability interventions in tourism, covering issues that range from support for regional policies &amp; planning, adoption of standards, introduction of value chain concepts, to the awareness of relevant stakeholders, highlighting in this way the multi-stakeholder nature of tourism sustainability and the great benefits that will arise through the engagement and cooperation of all stakeholders.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>According to an old Latvian belief, nine dishes should be served for the festive Christmas meal. The hostess at <a href="http://www.vinkalniesi.lv/">&ldquo;Vīnkalni&rdquo; country house</a> will teach visitors how to cook three Latvian traditional dishes:</p>

<p>&lsquo;Biguzis&rsquo; &ndash; a traditional country dessert with rye bread, whipped cream and fresh berries. Its ingredients are rye bread, cranberries or lingonberries, honey, cinnamon and whipped cream. Mature rye bread is crushed or grated. Cranberries are squeezed in juice, diluted with water, sweetened with honey and poured into bread. When the bread has sucked into the liquid, it is topped with whipped cream.</p>

<p>Fresh cheese &ndash; made from cow&#39;s milk adding various herbs and spice (cumin, hemp, greens).</p>

<p>Buns and cakes. It is said that in Latvian folk tradition round cakes and buns in the form of a crescent were baked to honour the Sun and the Moon. Today they are often baked for celebrations and festivities. The traditional Latvian buns &lsquo;pīrāgi&rsquo; are made from yeast dough, are 5-13cm long in a curved form like a crescent. They are filled with bacon and onions or with cottage cheese or apples.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Der Baltische K&uuml;stenwanderweg ist ein Teil des Fernwanderwegs E9 entlang der Ostseek&uuml;ste, der an der lettisch-litauischer Grenze im Dorf Nida in Lettland beginnt und am Tallinner Hafen in Estland endet. Die ~ 1200 Kilometer des Baltischen K&uuml;stenwanderweges sind in 60 einzelne Eintageswanderungen eingeteilt (12&nbsp;&ndash; 25 km). Jede Tageswanderung hat eigene Beschreibung. Zus&auml;tzlich sind drei Doppelseiten des Reisef&uuml;hrers den estnischen Inseln gewidmet, deren Besuch als Fortsetzung der Wanderung eingeplant werden kann. Andererseits kann man sich auch einfach der Entspannung hingeben, indem man das kulturgeschichtliche, kulinarische Angebot und die behagliche Atmosph&auml;re der Inseln genie&szlig;t.&nbsp;Die Reisef&uuml;hrer werden in 5 verschiedenen Sprachen (Englisch, Lettisch, Deutsch, Estnisch und Russisch) ver&ouml;ffentlicht. In begrenzter Anzahl sind englische, lettische sowie deutsche Versionen, in gedruckter Form, in unserem B&uuml;ro in Riga, Kalnciema Stra&szlig;e 40, erh&auml;ltlich.</p>

      <link><![CDATA[https://www.celotajs.lv/de/news/item/view/820]]></link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>On the way to Latvia&rsquo;s centenary, we at Baltic Country Holidays have produced a new tour map inviting to travel along 7 routes of Latvia&rsquo;s Statehood: the Baltic&rsquo;s Road, the Freedom&rsquo;s Road, the Mara&rsquo;s Road, the Liv&rsquo;s Road, the Daugava&rsquo;s Road, the Jacob&rsquo;s Road, the Light&rsquo;s Road. The routes will allow you to learn about aspects of Latvia&rsquo;s history, personalities, places and events that facilitated the establishment of the state and the emergence of its national identity. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The publication includes a map with the 7 routes marked and briefly described, 80 attractions along the routes and 85 open farms that hold the sign Latvian Heritage.</p>

<p>The 7 Routes of Latvia&rsquo;s Statehood have been developed within the programme for celebration of the centenary of Latvia as a state. The key message of the centenary celebration is &bdquo;I am Latvia&rdquo; focusing on people as the core value of the state. They shape today&rsquo;s life in the country and, together with their young generation, they lay foundations for the future.</p>

<p>The map is available at the office of &bdquo;Lauku ceļotājs&rdquo;, 40 Kalnciema str. (3rd floor), Riga (week days at 09:00 &ndash; 17:00).</p>

      <link><![CDATA[https://www.celotajs.lv/de/news/item/view/617]]></link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Drinking maple and birch saps is old Latvian tradition. Though maple is introduced species, Latvians have discovered that its saps taste as good as birch, and it starts earlier. Usually saps start running with the first warm days when temperatures stay above zero and stop with the first green leaves. This year maple sap has started to run as early as mid February. At<a href="http://www.celotajs.lv/en/e/zs_ragares?lang=en"> Ragāres</a> farm they collect maple saps and bottle it for own use and for visitors willing to enjoy this seasonal treat.&nbsp; Saps are collected by drilling a hole in the trunk some 30-40cm from the ground and using a tube to lead the sap into a container. Maple and birch saps are renowned for their detoxicating and curative properties. People drink it fresh and also fermented.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p><span>Auf dieser Tour werden Sie zwei bezaubernde baltische Hauptstädte – Riga und Tallinn – mit ihren kompakten Altstädten, mit ihrer mittelalterlichen Architektur, mit ihrem Kulturerbe und dem Angebot an Kultur erleben. Der Schnee, die Laternen und die weihnachtlichen Verzierungen machen diese Städte im Winter noch romantischer als gewöhnlich. Ihre SPA-Hotels befinden sich in den Zentren dieser Städte. Nach einem Spaziergang durch die Altstadt können Sie sich in eine Sauna oder im Schwimmbecken erwärmen oder Sie können auch ein entspannendes SPA-Angebot wählen. Die Tour beginnt in Riga und ein bequemer Bus bringt Sie nach Tallinn. Sie brauchen kein Auto zu mieten, um auf den winterlichen Straßen zu fahren. <a href="http://www.celotajs.lv/cont/tour/tours/Winter_offer_de.html">Einzelheiten hier</a></span></p>]]></description>
