Kaltene features several homes where shipbuilders used to live – Caurnāši, which was home to the Bertliņi family, Ilmati, where six ailing ships were built, Maizītes, where the Stahl family of ship builders built 16 two-mast and three-mast ships, and Dambekalni, which was once one of the first canned fish factories on the coastline. To the side of the sea are the old boat piers of Kaltene. In 1936, a board pier was built by the Freijs family from Roja. It was 200 m long and had room for some 50 boats. All that is left are wooden poles that have been eaten away by the sea and time. If you want to learn about the specifics, difficulties and challenges of fishermen today, visit Ervīns Vilciņš in Ķirķrags. He will tell interesting stories on the basis of his experience. You can watch as he fishes in the morning and then taste the fish that he has caught. (Source: Roja TIC) |

The maritime school existed from 1873 to 1915 and was wrecked during World War I. The school trained helmsmen for short-distance trips. Tuition was free, and classes were taught in Latvian. Latvian sailors were known in Russia and abroad, including the Americas. They were respected for their serious approach to their work, their honesty and their loyalty. (Source: Roja TIC) |

After the establishment of the Livonian state, the pope consecrated this land in honour of the holy Virgin Mary. This created Terra Mariana or Māra’s Land. The road between Ludza, Rēzekne and Daugavpils runs along an ancient trading route that once connected Vilnius and Kaunas to Pskov and, later, to St Petersburg and Warsaw. Very beautiful and poetically picturesque with rivers and lakes that are in Latvia’s forested land and among hillocks that offer a wonderful look at the distant horizon – that is Māra’s Land, which is also known as the Land of Blue Lakes. Lake Rāzna is the second largest in Latvia, and when the weather is clear, Mākoņkalns Hill or Padebešu Hill is reflected in its water. Atop the hill are the oldest ruins of fortifications in Latgale, dating back to the Livonian era. Rēzekne is known as the heart of Latgale, because it has always been the centre for Lettigalian culture and education. People contributed donations for the 1939 construction of a monument to Māra of Latgale. It is dedicated to those who fell during Latvia’s independence battles and the liberation of Latgale. The monument also speaks to the Catholic identity of Latgale. The monument was rededicated on August 13, 1992, the date of the assumption of the Virgin Mary. A Catholic festival at Aglona and the monument to Māra of Latgale – these are integral components of this part of Latvia. The present day is marked out clearly by the new Gors concert hall in Rēzekne, and well as the Zeimuļš student interest education centre. Daugavpils is Latvia’s second city and an important centre for industry, culture, education and sports. The Daugavpils pellet factory is unique, and the oldest pellet casting tower in Europe is now open to visitors, as are the restored Daugavpils fortress and the new Rothko Museum. Not far from Daugavpils are the small Birķeneļi semi-estate and the Rainis Museum. Latgale was the “land of new days” for the poet, and the museum now hosts gatherings of young artists and craftspeople. The ancient tradition of ceramic art that is typical specifically of this part of Latvia is still thriving. |

Tūrisma gide Ineta Jansone piedāvā ekskursijas grupām uz Melnalkšņu dumbrāja laipu. Melnalkšņu dumbrāja laipa ir viena no īsākajām un interesantākajām takām Ķemeru nacionālajā parkā (600 m). Melnalkšņu dumbrājā Vēršupītes krastos novērojami dabiskam mežam raksturīgi elementi – jauni, kā arī veci un dobumaini koki, kritalas, sausoņi, ciņi. Daudzveidīga ir meža putnu fauna. Jebkurā gadalaikā melnalkšņu dumbrājs ir īpašs. Taču visā krāšņumā dumbrājs atklājas tieši pavasarī. Vēršupītes pālu laikā ūdeņi pārklāj lielāko dumbrāja daļu, bet visapkārt zied zeltainās purenes, gaiss vibrē no putnu dziesmām un dzeņu bungošanas. |
