Guest House "Garīkas" in Latvia

Although this post should probably go into hotel review category, taking into consideration that I haven't stayed here overnight I'm listing this place under tourist attractions. And here are few reasons that made me think that Guest house Garīkas is worth not only of (perhaps) a lovely stay but as well for some good landscape photography. At first - Garīkas are famous shitake mushroom growers in Latvia, secondly they feature a lovely watch tower here and third... they have a cobbled driveway. Guest house Garīkas is located in Courland (region of Latvia), Skrunda district, parish of Rudbārži - some 150 km away from nations capital city Riga.

Cobbled surface at guest house Garīkas

Just amazing what a man can do. I mean in middle of nowhere, far away from any city communications you will find a cobbled road... where? At guest house Garīkas in Courland, Latvia.
