<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWe drove to our overnight place for about 1 hour. It was near Nica in a nature reserve. It was a completely normal forest parking lot that is used by residents for walking. We still had time because it was still quite early and so we went for a run first. There are those here highest dune in Latvia<\/strong> and we ran up that too, in the middle of the forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\nView from the dune<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nIt wasn't that windy that day either and the sea, which wasn't that far away, couldn't be heard rustling. But from up here you have a beautiful view over the forest to the sea. Of course we also walked to the sea. Down the dune, a little more through the forest and then - we were amazed. A huge property with a large house directly behind the dunes, then only the beach and the sea. Crazy and once again well cared for, not a blade of grass too long.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWell-kept properties no matter where you are in Latvia ... \ud83d\ude00<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe beach was only a few meters away. Sebastian took a few more photos and I was shocked to see that I had forgotten the leash up on the dune. So don't walk back the convenient driveway, but back up the dune to the bank. The line was still there, nobody had taken it. After we have had a good night, we continue to the Northern Forts. The night was very cool, by the way, it cooled to 14 \u00b0 outside and it was only 16 \u00b0 on the bus. During the day it is nice and also quite warm, at night it cools down really well.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBeach as far as the eye can see<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Northern Forts - An interesting lost place by the sea<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nAgain in Latvia nature, nature, nature. One field after the other, forests over forests and only a few small houses in between. Some of them look like they didn't need long to collapse. But it is properly cared for everywhere. They seem to have mowing the lawn as a hobby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we turned onto the road towards Northern Forts, it was a gravel road. So far we have been able to avoid them skillfully, but that is probably over now. The fort stretches all the way up to the parking lot on the beach. The system on the beach pulls down very far to the left and you can see that nature is taking everything back. Every possible house or defensive structure is broken and falls into the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fort became a separate, Russian military district of Liepaja<\/strong> At the beginning of the 20th century at the behest of Tsar Alexander III. built. A few years later, in 1914, the fort was abandoned and everything has been carried away by the waves ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
