Relaxation is necessary for everyone, especially relaxation in the open air, which helps to forget responsibilities and daily chores. If you want to enjoy an authentic rural atmosphere, but at the same time not only sunbathe, but also actively relax, then you are welcome to stay alone in the house Kalna Raskumi on the Vecpiebalga side. Lake Alauksta is like a gift to the guests who come to relax with us, because we offer various activities and recreation opportunities for both adults and children right on the lake shore and in the lake.
Kalna Raskumu guest house offers six bedrooms for your convenience, but we can accommodate twenty-two people in total if you are planning a larger party or event. We have celebrated birthdays, small weddings, wedding anniversaries, etc. On warm summer days and evenings, you can also stay in the specially equipped tent and camper sites located near the guest house. The tent sites are equipped with both tables and a barbecue area, fire pits for your convenience and pleasant celebrations, so that everything is within reach. You can choose a room with a view of the lake, the courtyard or the garden.
Indoors, there is a shared lounge, terrace, sauna and kitchen that everyone can use at their own discretion at any time, whenever they need it. In the kitchen area, you can use the coffee machine there to prepare a delicious morning drink for yourself, which you can enjoy in your room, in the yard or on the terrace with a view of Lake Alauksta.
We control the number of people who make reservations for the rest area, so that there are not too many people both indoors and outdoors and everyone feels pleasant and comfortable.

For the well-being of our guests, we offer the opportunity to both swim and enjoy the beautiful landscape of Alauksta Lake while on a boat. In recent summer seasons, visitors have become fond of trips with sup boards. You can spend several hours or even a day in our water park and not only sunbathe, but relax actively and sports. There are two islands in Aaluksta lake, which make the scenic view of the lake even more attractive. Locals call these islands the big island and the small island, which you can also see closer using a sup board or a boat. The swimming areas have flat shores and a pleasant sandy bed.
People choose to stay in Kalna Raskumos even if they go to enjoy some cultural events and concerts in the area, but after that they don’t want to go home. On the shore of Alauksta lake, where the Alauksta stage is, a gathering of Imantas Kalniņas music lovers, or Imantdienas, takes place regularly. A concert on the shore of Lake Alauksta is an unforgettable experience and an emotional adventure.
