  1. Ogre gave ZZS seniors small souvenirs, including a “small balsam” on which the number of the ZZS list for the upcoming Saeima elections was visible. Brigmanis pointed out that the black balm was advertised as “drapes” at the time and was served to those people who reached the age of 85. byteseu.com/2378458/ #LatvejasRepublika #Latvia #Latvija #LatvijasRepublika #LețmōVabāmō #RepublicOfLatvia

  2. Our ticket for the medieval castle in Cēsis also gave access to the History and Art Museum in the adjacent New Castle. One exhibit told how the red-white-red flag of Cēsis became Latvia’s prototype national flag—our afternoon sightseeing would mirror this colour sequence! Re-entering Gauja National Park our first stop was at Ērgļu klintis | Eagle Cliffs, more 🔴 red sandstone cut by the Gauja River, reached via a short path from 🅿️ (📷1). Further out from Cēsis is Sietiņiezis, a ridge of ⚪️ white sandstone composed of pure quartz grains, without iron oxide pigmentation (📷2). It’s the largest outcrop of white Devonian sandstone in the Baltic States and the Latvian name refers to a strainer, referencing the many 🐝 plasterer bee burrows that punctuate it. Leaving the park we made for the coast, passing flocks of cranes resting and feeding in crop fields ahead of their imminent migration. Our destination was Veczemju klintis where Latvia’s 🔴 red sandstone is found on the seashore. It’s a lovely beach (📷3), worth the 4 € private 🅿️ fee and there are several small grottos carved out by wave action (📷4). Paldies, Latvia: onward to Estonia!

  7. Cēsis, an urban enclave surrounded by Gauja National Park, is notable for its well-preserved 13th C. castle ruin, seen here from Castle Park (📷1). A kitchen garden within the walls offers insights into daily medieval life (📷2). The Master’s Chamber on the first floor of the Western Tower features 16th C. stellar vaulting in red brick (📷3). Real candle lanterns are provided to aid visitors in exploring dark nooks and negotiating stairs (📷4). Did you know they had sash windows 500 years ago?

    Aside: Cēsu viduslaiku pils | Cēsis Medieval Castle was the site of one of Europe’s largest known mass suicides, when during a 1577 siege 300 people chose blowing themselves up with gunpowder over surrender to Ivan the Terrible’s army.

    Cēsu Svētā Jāņa baznīca | St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church dates from the late 13th C. and contains the 1494 tomb slab of Loringhoven, a master of the Livonian Order. Much of what remains of the medieval town seemed in need of restoration.
