4. The Ciecere River
The Ciecere River is 51 km long, and is the river Venta right bank
feeder. It starts from the Ciecere Lake and meanders through Saldus town for 6 km creating a wide green area in the centre of the
town. Within town limits, several artificial waterfalls have been
created in the river.
5. Ciecere Nature Trail
GPS 56.667657, 22.492376
The nature and walking trail meanders along the Ciecere River
from Kuldīgas Street to the Saules Street Bridge. Because of the
low relief and the limited territory on the banks of the river, a part
of the trail was built as a plank-way, which is also reachable for
visitors with prams and in wheelchairs. Signs with information on
plant species growing along the riverside are placed near the trail.
The length of the walkway is 750 m.
6. Children’s Playground
GPS 56.665054, 22.490735
The playground is located in Music Square (between Lielā Street
and the Ciecere River) and can be reached by following Ciecere
Nature Trail. The playground is suitable for children of all ages –
there is a separate area with equipment for small children until 3
years old, and another play area for older children and teenagers.
7. Saldus Children and Youth Centre
GPS 56.665263, 22.491936
Lielā iela 3b, phone: +371 63822105
The building was built as a Friendship Association Centre. During
the period of its activity the Society had a great impact on the
cultural life of Saldus. From 1946 to 1992, the Young Pioneers
and pupil organizations operated in the building. Saldus Children and Youth Centre has been located there since 1992.
8. Fountain “A Drop of Honey”
GPS 56.663703, 22.491802
Māris Čaklais, Saldus-born Latvian poet, has compared the town
with a drop of honey in the bowl of Courland. This metaphor gave
rise to the idea of the fountain-sculpture, which consists of two
honeycombs connected by a drop of honey. The author of the
fountain-sculpture is Kārlis Īle, Saldus-born sculptor.
