Vīdale Windmill (ruins)

Vīdale Windmill was built in 1812.

 

Vīdale

A small settlement with a school, library and shop. North from the Vidale are visible remains of the windmill.


Going towards the Gulf of Riga, the road crosses Shlitere Zilie mountain precipice with spectacular views during late autumn, early spring and winter, when there are no leaves on the trees and sandstone outcrops. To the left you can see Zilie mountain spring – a landscaped water taking place. Road that runs from the Vidale to Melnsils side, is called by the locals Knipeldambi. They say that it was built by the German army first During World War I, putting logs on the road and covering them with sand. Vīdale is a small village which is accessed via the impressive Šlītere Blue Hills valley and its standstone cliffs.
