In Kuldiga 🇱🇻 there is the widest waterfall in Europe. That was the reason for our visit. It was not expected that the city itself is just as worth seeing. Not all houses are top renovated 🤷‍♂️, many old buildings have patina. That's what makes this wonderful charm 😊 of the city.

Kuldiga, with its many original wooden houses, exudes the charm of a historic Latvian town. The Rumba waterfall, at 240m, is the widest waterfall in Europe and the brick bridge, built in 1874 over the Venta river, is also one of the longest in Europe.

Kuldiga's old town has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2023 and as you stroll through the streets it becomes clear why. Although much is still in a state of disrepair, the city also has an enormous number of historic buildings. It would be good if the renovation and preservation of the pleasant old Hanseatic city continued to progress.
