Author of children fairy tales lives not too far from the main entrance of this beautiful park It is filled with wood carvings and figures made of sticks. The walk alone was incredible. We did not even finish half. The witch in the forest was brewing tea. She offered the people a taste (yuck). It tasted like grass but who said anything a witch gives you is to be delicious.
The snails we saw were huge. Our family told us that many of the other countries come to Latvia to farm these interesting creatures for ESCARGOT The day we went was misty but nice. AS you see we are wearing coats. The weather being the ocean climate there were many days it rained in the morning and then the sun came out.
Not far also in the horizon was the Tervete Castle Mound (Sugar Mound). It is on the right bank of the river Tervete on a hill 19m high and has been artificially transformed into the castle. Archeologist's studied the mound where six cultural layers were found attesting that the castle mound was inhabited since the 1st century BC. Later a brick castle, from which ruins still remain and was built on the north western side of the castle mound
