Edole pils - a hidden gem

Latvia has several old houses and castles, a very old but quite original one is Edole pils, in Edole village, Kuldigas rajons.
It was in the process of being restored in the summer of 2002, with the inside of most rooms quite barren. But you can get a good impression of a 13th century bishop's castle, built by the "Livonian Order"

The Baltic sea is always at hand...

From Kuldiga it's only a short distance to the coastline, offering great beaches, often quite empty even in season!

One of them we found in Jurkalne, just outside Kuldiga district (rajons), some 30 km south of Ventspils and less than an hour's drive from Kuldiga.

Renda - centre of Abava valley

The Abava valley nature and landscape park offers a great stretch of unspoilt nature. Great for hiking, with many interesting corners, like this small waterfall (on Ivandas river) near Renda.
