Sweating Bathhouse “Black Smoke Bania” There is one very special place in “Lacites”. There you are invited to follow a ritual that has remained unchanged for many centuries. The “black smoke bania” is one of the most ancient kinds of sweating houses (also called the steam bath). In order to get the stones of the bath stove really hot they should be heated for at least 6 hours. When the required temperature is achieved the smoke from the fire burning inside the bath stove is expelled through the small window since the stove has no chimney. No wonder it does not take long before all the walls and the ceiling would be covered in soot, resulting in this kind of bath house hence the name “black smoke bath”. Heat in the bathhouse is maintained with the help of the heated stones, on which water is poured to create steam, which is the most important characteristic of a sweating bath. Since long ago such bathhouses were widely spread in Latgale, the Eastern part of Latvia, and were called the Latgalian black smoke bania. However, only a few of them survived until modern days and continue to be used in the country farmsteads. The “black bania” will meet you with a delicious smoky smell mixed with the sweet aroma of the birch twig brooms used to lash the body, and big towels to wrap yourselves afterwards. You may follow the sweating session with a refreshing dive in the pond or the Gauja River, which runs by the bath-house or relax in the hot tub. You will feel like a new-born baby, with both your body and spirit purified.

Sports Grounds Beach volleyball ground, mini-soccer field, an asphalt-covered ground for street-ball, a network of asphalt tracks for roller-skating and bicycle rides, a pond for water sports including water-cycle races. You can rent all sorts of sports equipment: balls for soccer, volleyball or basketball, badminton kits, bicycles, water-cycles, boats, roller-skates, safety caps and safety vests, as well everything necessary for skiing and skating in winter season.

Small Bungalows These houses are built of logs by using local traditional methods. Seams between the logs are filled with moss, and the thatched roof is made of water reed. All-natural materials create a special atmosphere allowing you to breathe more freely and making your sleep deep and sound. Use of traditional elements of interior design combined with a modern look creates a special atmosphere of freshness and comfort. Every bungalow is for two persons. However, extra beds are available by request.
