There are thousands of storks in
the Baltic states. There were actually many more on this
field, but stopping the bike and getting the camera out,
took too long. |
|
The UNESCO world heritage city Riga
is worth a visit. You will find photos somewhere else on
the web. |
|
Secret tip: There is a old
soviet bunker in Ligatne, near Sigulda. It is below a
local rehabilitation centre. Ask for the rehabilitation
centre, and not the bunker, because most locals don't
know about the bunker, or they don't want to talk about
it (it was secret until 2003). You can arrange guided
tours in English and German, phone 4131321.
Unfortunately it is only allowed to take photos in one
room, because the government still keeps the bunker in
usable conditions. |

Many buildings, like in this small town, need
a renovation. Others are already renovated and
look great. |
|
And yet another gravel road in
Latvia. |
|
Some village roads are hardly
passable without a off road bike. Especially after a
rain shower. |
|
In general the landscapes in the
Baltic states aren't exactly spectacular. Forests,
fields and all flat. It is pretty, but after a while it
can get boring. |
