Travel Guide Rauna

In Rauna, you go along the footsteps of the Herrenhutters, these itinerant preachers and educators who made Livonia the most literate province in the Russian Empire. To see, the Staburags («fontaine petrifying»), the tomb of the liberation soldiers (50 oaks in whose roots the names of the Latvians and Estonians fell in 1919), the site of a latgale castle in motte and the remains of the winter residence of the Archbishop.Līgo is the major feast of the Baltic version of the Indo-European religion. It is the feast of the summer solstice that drains all Latvians (even those of the cities) to the ancient sacred sites. One of the most famous is the Piltinskalns de Drusti.
