Krogus un Brengūža ezeru un Drustu parka ieskāvumā samērā plašā teritorijā „izmētātas” Drustu muižas ēkas. Muižas kungu māja celta 1787. g. Līdz mūsdienām dažādā stāvoklī ir saglabājusies pārvaldnieka māja (19. gs.), klēts (ar kolonnām), krejotava, brūzis, smēde, magazīna, sķūņi u.c. ēkas. Muižas Kavalieru namā ierīkots viesu nams. Interesanti, kāda izskatītos Latvijas lauku ainava, ja tajā šodien nebūtu saglabājušās muižu kompleksi, kas tiek izmantoti vēl joprojām? |

Ģipka is a village that once was the site of the first maritime school in Kurzeme. It was opened in 1869, just a few years after a similar school in Ainaži. This was a Category 2 maritime school, which trained helmsmen for long-distance trips and captains for short-distance trips. The school was moved to Mazirbe in 1894. Before the maritime school, the building housed a different kind of school, and a second floor was added in 1867 specifically for the maritime school. Today this is a residential building. During 28 years, the school trained more than 200 professional sailors, and it was of great importance in facilitating ship building in shoreline Liv villages. (Source: Roja TIC) |

This is one of the largest high-type swamps (6,192 ha) in Latvia, with very distinct landscapes of little lakes and hillocks. The Great Ķemeri Heath is of importance as an extensive hydrological system and preserver of the local microclimate. It is also of international importance as a site for birds, as well as a major source of sulphurous water. Along the Kalnciems-Kūdra road, which is on the eastern edge of the swamp (3.4 km from the Rīga-Ventspils highway), there is an information stand with information about the management of the heath and about the role of swamps in nature and in the lives of people. Great Ķemeri Heath wooden pathway trail is now restored and opened for visitors in 2013. |

One of the highest dunes in Latvia, located between Bernāti and Jūrmalciems villages. It is 37m high and offers a magnificent view of the sea and natural pine forests. The highest dunes in Latvia stand to the South of Jūrmalciems village: the Pūsēnu hill, the Ķupu hill, the Mietragkalns or Tiesas hill, the Pāļu hill, the Garais hill, the Ātrais hill, the Lāvas hill. The Pūsēnu dune is the highest of these dunes which are all called hills by the local people. The Pūsēnu hill developed between 1785 to 1835 when shifting sand became extremely dangerous. Several homesteads were buried in sand, among them „Pūsēni”, where a forester’s family lived. The family is said to have moved to Bārta. The dune was named after the buried homestead. Jēkabs Janševskis, a Latvian writer, wrote in his book „Nīca”: “In olden times, large pine trees were growing in the dunes on the coast of Nīca and they stood steady and firm. But i Swedish times (around 1650), the Swedes built a large kiln for charcoal and tar. Pine wood and stumps provided an excellent material for this. Once a big fire rose, and the charcoal kiln burned down as well as the whole pine forest. The remaining stumps and bare trunks in the vast burnout could not hold the storm-driven sand; it flew further and further burying not only the burned-out forest, but also the nearest fields. In wintertime, when the vast, low marshy grasslands were covered with ice, jets of sand drifted further over its surface, and soon most of the grasslands and large meadows turned into sandy heath-land and dunes.” To reconstruct Liepāja, severely damaged during WWII, a silicate brick factory was built in the town. The main raw material was white sand and it was taken from the Bernātu forest. In the 1960-ies they started to dig off the Green Dune and the White Dune, later also the Pūsēnu hill. The excavators used to work day and night, in three shifts. The work stopped at around 1980, as there was no more sand suitable for production of brick. A trail is set up to facilitate walking in the Pūsēnu Dune in the Bernātu Nature Park. |

There are records to show that there has been a church at this location since the 17th century, and the current one was built between 1792 and 1794 by the chief construction specialist of the city of Rīga, Christopher Haberland. He designed the cupola-shaped building, with the cupola ensuring good acoustics inside the building. The altar is opposite the entrance door. Between the columns of the building is an altar painting showing Christ and St Peter on a storm-ravaged sea. Other important objects include chalices from the 18th or 19th century, candelabras, etc. The building was restored in 2014. To the South from it is the Katlakalns cemetery, which is the final resting place of the distinguished Baltic German writer Garlieb Merkel (1769-1850). He was of great importance in ensuring the end of indentured servitude in Latvia. |

В исторических источниках упоминается уже в 1582 году. В Дундагской ваковой книге 1736 года в Вайде упоминаются два двора - Лекши и Жонаки. Согласно данным переписи весной 1935 года в Вайде проживало 106 человек, в том числе 40 ливов, 60 латышей, несколько эстонцев и немцев. В 1939 году в деревне Вайде был 21 двор. В Лажах Вайде родился Ника Полманис (1823 - 1903) - первый образованный лив, и всю жизнь прожил ливский поэт Альфонс Бертольдс (1910 - 1993), который посвятил стихотворение растущему рядом со двором вековому дубу. С Жонаками связан богатый род Бертольдов: ливская сказительница Мария Шалтьяре, капитан морских яхт Андрейс Бертольдс (США), его сын, ученый - библиотекарь Артурс Бенедиктс Бертольдс (США), ливский поэт Альфонс Берольдс, знатоки ливского языка Паулина Клявиня и Викторс Бертольдс, швейцарский врач Марселс Бертольдс, всемирно известный пианист Артурс Озолиньш (Канада) и Гризельда Кристиня (1910-2013) – сказительница ливского языка и поэтэсса, которая была последним носителем ливского языка, для которого это был родной язык. Озолниеки также связаны с родом Бертольдов – знатоком ливских традиций и языка Паулиной Клявиней (1918 - 2001) и ее матерью – ливской сказительницей Катриной Зебергой. Коллекцию ливских этнографических предметов, собранную Паулиной, можно осмотреть в Латвийском этнографическом музее под открытым небом – в амбаре ливского двора «Делини». В Пурвзиеды Вайде можно осмотреть коллекцию рогов лесных животных, собранную лесником Эдгарсом Хаусманисом. |
