We wonder how we would feel if few years ago when drinking our morning coffee we would see a drone outside our kitchen window. It’s something to think about. Good that the old miller had strong nervous system.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Aiva shows us the museum and tells it’s history. Viktors \u0136irpe who at the time was the chairman of “1.maijs” kolkhoz, had an idea to make a small memorial corner to save the history of the parish. Collect stories of farmers, parish inhabitants and of people who were sent to Siberia. That’s how Kalncempju cultural started. It was opened in 1985.<\/p>\n
Anyway, it’s wonderful place for motorcycle, cycling and walking tourists. For just 3 euros you can spend the night here and see a really interesting object close to Northern Latvian border.<\/p>\n
We head for Katle\u0161i in \u017d\u012bguri parish where we hope to find the old mill and an ancient cemetery. We find a beautiful place named Mitra hill that can be accessed by crossing two forest rivers.<\/p>\n
With some help from locals we manage to find old Katle\u0161i mill. When looking for them we accidentally find an old Soviet time monument to Ka\u0137\u012b\u0161u family, Soviet power activists that were killed here.<\/p>\n
Not far from it we also find the old cemetery that could be 250 years old. It is obvious that vandals have visited this place like many others in Latvia. Some people just don’t respect the ashes of our ancestors.<\/p>\n
The weather is sunny and farmers are in a hurry for a harvest that is bad this year due to a rainy summer.<\/p>\n
Not far from Vi\u013caka the road leads us to “Baltais Briedis” motocross track., Mat\u012bss leads us through the turns for a few laps.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He gets really excited and checks husky’s capabilities in a huge jump. “It’s an old track with rich history. It’s wide with nice relief that ensures big speeds. Long but at the same time safe jumps. Who has the biggest balls wins here!” Mat\u012bss describes the track.<\/p>\n
He has won many awards here but the most important was won in 2008 when he secured Latvian championship in the last stage.<\/p>\n
At the dawn we arrive at Eg\u013cavas forestry where Aldis Pu\u0161purs has created a museum and gives us accommodation.<\/p>\n
