Where to stay:
The tourist abode “Ventas Rumba” is located on the right bank of the Venta River just opposite to the falls, on romantic artificial Martins Island, which took its shape thanks to a channel dug as long ago as in the times of Duke Jekabs.
You will live between the two main tourism objects of Kuldiga – the broadest in Europe falls (249 m) known as Rumba, and one of the longest in Europe brick bridge built in 1874.
