Undeniably, Latvia is full of beautiful places, so it is no wonder that you want to return to them again and again. However, if you are looking for an idea for a slightly different holiday, visiting destinations and corners that people look at less often, we recommend that you pay attention to the options summarized in this article, some of which few know.

1. Oļupīte waterfall

Reklāma

Spring is the right time to explore the waterfalls. They are much more beautiful at this time and offer much more colorful landscapes. For example, Oļupīte waterfall, which is located in Kuldīga region.

2. Diseases of Disneyland in Kurzeme

Undoubtedly, Disneyland is one of the most magical amusement parks in the world, which has opened its gates in various countries of the world and is visited by hundreds of thousands of people every year. Although, if there is such an opportunity, it is definitely worth visiting one of the famous parks, as it turns out Disneyland can also be found here in Latvia - in the village of Paplaka in Kurzeme.

3. Liepniekvalka cave labyrinth

On the shores of Liepniekvalka is one of the most unusual geological objects in Latvia - a sandstone outcrop, where springs have washed away an atypical cave and a maze of underground passages. The outcrop is about five meters high and 20 meters wide. Interestingly, although there are signs to this place, many cave labyrinths on the Dundaga side are a surprise.

4. Hill of the Cross in Ķegums

When you hear the phrase "Krusta kalns", you have probably imagined the popular sight in Siauliai, where you can get faster than from Riga to Liepaja or Daugavpils by car. It turns out that here in Latvia there is a "little brother" of this object! To see it, you will have to go in the direction of Ķegums.

5. Vecsautiņu sources

Latvia is rich in sources that can be found in various places. There are interesting Vecsautiņi springs in the vicinity of Smiltene, which can be seen by anyone.
