Nearby Sarkaņi has long been considered an important pilgrimage site, especially around Pentecost. The first known Catholic church there was a small wooden building erected in the late 17th or early 18th century. This historical detail offers a distinct point of reference in the area's history without reducing the pilgrimage site to a single event.

In Voguls, in the wider Lendžu pagasts area, you can shape a cup on a potter's wheel, have your name engraved on it and collect it after it has been fired in a kiln. This activity must be arranged in advance. The classification of Viraudas ezers as an unofficial swimming area within the administrative territory of Lendžu pagasts dates from 2024. If swimming is part of your plans, check the conditions on site.
