[ENG] Ezere is an inhabited site on the border between
Latvia and Lithuania, 36 km from Saldus. It is set on land
bequeathed by the last Master of the Order Gothards Ketlers to his
nephew as the Order state collapsed. The Ezere Manor was
extensively rebuilt in the 19th century. The Empire style farm
buildings are notable for their purity of style, with triumphal
arch motifs and Doric columns used expansively in their external
finishing. The Ezere Landscape Park is rich with exotic plant
species. The park includes a 4 m high post-like field stone called
the Great Stone which, according to local legends, it took ten
years to roll to Ezere.
As World War II neared its end, the act of surrender of German
army units trapped in the so-called “Kurzeme cauldron”
was signed in Ezere on May 8, 1945.

Given coords are for parking spot. To find cache location, you
must find answers to some questions.
Before visiting cache we suggest to
take your passport with you, because it's borderland and apart from
Latvias presence in Schengen zone border-guards may ask you to
indentify yourself. No, they are not standing on their post, they
roam around. So be careful, don't run (they may count you as wanted
criminal) and be kind to them. ;-)
