Kurzeme also has more than<br \/>\n80 especially protected nature territories with a distinguished variety of species, natural habitats and landscapes, as well as aesthetical, ecological,cultural and historical values.<br \/>\nThe national list of Latvia in UNESCO World Heritage List includes the old town of Kuld\u012bga in the ancient valley of the Venta River and the archaeological ensemble of Grobi\u0146a.

The nearby sea has left a great deal of influence on Kurzeme. Seaside fishermen villages in Kurzeme have a very special atmosphere, and here, as in any proper fishermen village, smoked fish is always on the offer.<br \/>\nIf you are planning a longer cycling holiday EuoVelo routes can be supplemented with longer or shorter local cycling routes.
