Discover Lendži and find hotels

If you are planning a trip to Lendži, you can get to know the area through two specific themes: the KUUP coffee roastery and cultural life at the Lendžu pagasta kultūras nams. Nearby, you can also visit a pottery exhibition and the church in Sarkaņi, notable for its architectural design. When looking for a hotel in Lendži, this distinction is useful: some of the places described are in the village, while others are in surrounding settlements. This lets you combine your interests with the geographical focus of your trip.

Coffee and culture in Lendži

KUUP is a family business that roasts specialty coffee in Lendži. Its local connection lies in the production itself; KUUP brings coffee into your travel plans if you are interested in local businesses and their products. The roastery thus adds an economic and culinary aspect to the other information about Lendži. Its family-run character and specialization in coffee provide a clear focus, while the cultural centre is associated with groups and community activities.

Amateur groups are active at the Lendžu pagasta kultūras nams, including youth and adult dance groups, children’s and adult theatre groups, and vocal ensembles. These groups hold concerts there, along with state and traditional holiday celebrations, balls, discos, creative workshops and information events. The programme ranges from dance, theatre and singing to festive, creative and informative events. For travellers who use culture as a factor in choosing where to stay, the cultural centre is a specific point of interest in the village. If you are planning your trip around a particular event, check its date in advance.

Include the bus connection in your plans

Bus route No. 6484 has an outbound and return route via Rēzekne, Greiškāni and Lendži. Before travelling, check the current timetable and make sure it matches your travel dates.

Ceramics in Ceplīši

In nearby Ceplīši, the “Ceplīši” pottery workshop displays an exhibition of around 300 different vessels. This adds ceramics and handcrafted objects to the themes in Lendži. While the cultural centre focuses on groups and events, Ceplīši is of interest for its displayed vessels and their variety. If this exhibition is important to your plans, check the current visiting arrangements in advance.

Pilgrimage and architectural design in Sarkaņi

For religious history and architecture, head to nearby Sarkaņi in Lendžu pagasts. The village has long been considered an important pilgrimage site, especially around Pentecost. Sarkaņi Church is a simple rectangular fieldstone building, with a small square turret above the roof at the entrance. The pilgrimage tradition and the church’s design reveal two distinct aspects of Sarkaņi’s cultural history. For travellers interested in religious history and church architecture, the village complements the cultural attractions in Lendži itself.

Distinguish the village from its surroundings

For planning your trip, it is useful to keep the locations separate: KUUP and the cultural centre are in Lendži itself; the pottery workshop in Ceplīši and the church in Sarkaņi are in nearby settlements. If you are looking for hotels for a stay in Lendži, you can organize these themes according to whether you want to explore the village itself or include the surrounding area in your plans.
