Likverteni is shaped above all by Likvertenu Forest: it serves as a recreation area for residents of Bauskas Municipality and offers different ways to enjoy a stay. Alongside walking trails, the area’s points of interest include a dolomite monument and the history of the place. When planning your visit, you can choose to focus on outdoor activity in the forest or take a more cultural and historical approach.

Walking Trails in Likvertenu Forest

The four walking trails in Likvertenu sils vary in length and are marked in different colours. This makes it possible to compare the routes by distance and distinguish them by their markings. When planning your day, first consider how important a walk is to you; the different lengths offer a practical point of reference. An orienteering map of Likvertenu sils dates from 2016. The four trails were temporarily closed to visitors because of storm damage. Before your visit, check whether this restriction is still in effect.

Monument and History

The dolomite monument “Cilvēku stāvi,” created by sculptor Imants Murovskis, stands in Likvertenu Forest. One of the sites where Jews were murdered is also located in the same forest. This grave historical connection deserves dedicated, respectful attention and should not become merely a backdrop to a walk. Thus, both a named work of art and a historical murder site form part of the area’s history, each offering a distinct subject for visitors interested in culture.

Waterways and Archaeological Significance

Likvertenu strauts is a 4 km-long right tributary of the Mēmele. In its upper reaches, it also forms the boundary between Vecsaules parish and Codes parish. The similar name therefore refers to a stream, not to Likvertenu sils forest. This distinction helps separate information about the walking trails from the area’s waterway geography.

The archaeological monument Likvertenes apmetne is located in the wider area around Likverteni. It is a monument of local significance in Bauskas Municipality, in Vecsaules parish near Jaunspārniņi and on the opposite banks of Likvertenu strauts. This adds a separate archaeological point of interest in the wider area to the history of the forest. If you are interested in the history of the region, you can distinguish between its different subjects: a named monument, a historical site and an archaeological monument.

Plan Your Stay Around Your Interests

Two questions can help you choose how to spend your stay: Would you mainly like to include the walking trails, or should local culture and history be just as important? The trails’ different lengths offer a practical way to compare them. The historical subjects offer a different focus from a forest walk, and you can give them as much weight as your interests warrant. This way, before searching for a holiday apartment, you can decide which aspects of Likverteni you would like to shape your stay.
