Practical info

  • Maršruts ir domāts kā padomdevējs - kā optimālāk apceļot reģionu vai valsti, vai divas valstis ar mērķi iepazīt to militāro mantojumu;
  • Braucējam pašam ir jāizplāno – cik no ieteiktajiem objektiem un vietām viņš vienas dienas laikā var iepazīt;
  • Pirms ceļojuma ir jānoskaidro apskates vietu (muzeju, kolekciju, fortifikācijas u.c. objektu) darba laiks;
  • Vietās, kur ir iepriekšēja pieteikšanās (vietējie gidi, privātas kolekcijas, cits), ir jāpiesaka vizīte, norādot datumu un laiku. Ja ceļojums tiek atcelts, ir jāinformē pieteiktās vietas;
  • Naktsmītnes ir jārezervē laicīgi. Vasaras sezonā, īpaši jūras piekrastē naktsmītnes var būt nepieejamas. Daļa no ēdināšanas uzņēmumiem ziemas sezonā var nestrādāt;
  • Ceļojumam izvēlieties ne tikai vasaru, bet arī citus gadalaikus;
  • Latvijas – Lietuvas – Igaunijas robežas pa autoceļiem var šķērsot brīvi bez ierobežojumiem un jebkurā diennakts laikā. Iebraucot no vienas valsts otrā ir jābūt līdzi ID kartei vai pasei;
  • Apmeklējiet tūrisma informācijas centrus, kur var iegūt papildus informāciju, bukletus, kartes.
