walls. The Old Town itself is unique: in its time it was build as a suburb to the Kuld?ga Castle, and is the only remaining 17th-18th century ensemble of this kind in the Baltic states.
The pride of Kuld?ga is the Venta waterfall Ventas rumba, a 240-meter wide natural rapid which is the widest in Europe. In spring, one can watch the fish flying up the ledge; due to this, Kuld?ga was once famous as a "place where they catch salmon in the air".
Not far from the Ventas rumba there is the well-known Kuld?ga brick bridge built in 1874, one of the longest bridges of this type in Europe. According to the road building standards of its time, the bridge has been builtwide enough for two carriages to pass each other. The ' race of the naked ' over the bridge has become an annual tradition for Midsummer nights
