Accommodation in Ozoli
In 2017, the municipality opened an activity area in Ozoli; specific Līgo programmes are also among the area’s leisure and cultural topics. A separate school-history theme concerns Liezēres pamatskola: the Jāņa dārzs garden is beside the school, and the building contains a room belonging to the local history museum. When planning your trip, keep past event dates and older information about the equipment in context.
