Mystery Island REDAN

Mystery island REDANS – a fun game for groups with staging a play, orientation, ingenuity and dexterity tasks, learning new knowledge.

Redans

Redan is part of the tsarist fortress built at the end of the 19th century, where fierce battles took place in 1919 defending Liepāja against Bermont's troops. Now in Redana it is possible to get acquainted with the history of Karosta, Liepaja fortress and the heroic defense of Liepaja in 1919.

 
Uz ziemeļiem no Dienvidu forta atrodas Liepājas lielākā kapsēta – Centrālā. Kapsētas dienvidu daļā izveidoti Sarkanās armijas karavīru brāļu kapi, kuros pārapbedīti Liepājas apkārtnē kritušie padomju karavīri, tajā skaitā 67. strēlnieku divīzijas komandieris ģenerālmajors Nikolajs Dedajevs, kurš vadīja Liepājas aizsardzību 1941. gada jūnijā.
