Tourist routes and roads

In 2005, three tourist routes were developed in Liezēres pagasts, based on the roads “Ziemeļu stīga,” “Vidzemes josta” and “Vidzemes šoseja.” The year refers to the development of these routes and provides a timeframe for regional planning. If you want to include one of the routes in your travel plans today, check its current route and signage in advance.

One specific road reference concerns the Tīrumskanuļi–Cērpi road: it is 2.37 kilometers long, has the designation A3 and a gravel surface. The name and designation identify the road, the length describes the section, and the surface type describes its condition. The length does not imply a particular travel time. As surface conditions can change, it is advisable to check the current conditions before driving.

Landscape and culture in Liezēres pagasts

In Liezēres pagasts, lakes and marshes lie in depressions between ridges, with wooded shores shaping the landscape. Ridges, lower-lying areas and bodies of water together form the region’s landscape. These natural features complement the individual cultural sites, which are also located in the pagasts.

Puļķu Velna akmens is a cult stone in Liezēres pagasts. It is 2.7 meters long, 2.0 meters wide and 0.5 meters high. These measurements describe a stone whose length and width are considerably greater than its height. The term “cult stone” adds cultural context to the dimensions.

The medieval cemetery Cērpu viduslaiku kapsēta, also known as Ogu kalniņš, is a clearly visible hill 150 meters north-northeast of the Cērpi farmsteads. Distinct from it are the Cērpu senkapi, also known as Bērzu kalniņš: this prehistoric burial ground is located by the Cērpi farmsteads. The two names therefore refer to different periods and forms of cultural heritage—a medieval cemetery and a prehistoric burial ground. For Ogu kalniņš, the distance and direction are given relative to the Cērpi farmsteads; Bērzu kalniņš is identified as a burial ground by the farmsteads.
