Kurzeme

Submitted by mhabich on

Get ready for an epic adventure in Kurzeme, Latvia's wild and windswept western province where the soul of the Baltic Sea meets ancient legends and untamed natural beauty! This is the land of dramatic contrasts, where the thunderous roar of the Baltic Sea crashes against the majestic, golden-sand beaches of the Baltic Coast, from the vibrant resort city of Liepāja with its unique "city in the dunes" feel and legendary musical wind, to the serene, pine-fringed shores of Jūrmala. Journey to the very edge of the continent at the breathtaking Cape Kolka, where the Gulf of Rīga and the open Baltic Sea collide in a spectacular dance of waves. Explore the enchanting, fairytale-like Kuldīga, home to Europe's widest waterfall, Venta Rapid, and wander through its charming, cobblestoned old town. Delve into history at the medieval Turaida Castle in the picturesque Gauja River Valley, and feel the power of the sea in the historic port of Ventspils. From the mysterious, whispering dunes of the Curonian Spit to the deep, silent forests and the warm hospitality of its coastal villages, Kurzeme is a province of powerful elemental forces, rich history, and unforgettable coastal magic!
