Indrāni: Poetry, Landscapes and Special Discoveries

Indrāni combines a striking landscape with the literary heritage of Broņislava Martuževa. Between the flat expanses of the Lubāna Plain, bogs, poetry and unusual wildlife, a wide variety of travel impressions emerge. Those looking for a holiday apartment in Indrāni can therefore plan their stay according to their own interests, with cultural discoveries, landscape experiences and special excursion destinations in Indrānu pagasts.

Flat Landscapes and Bogs

Indrānu pagasts is located in the Lubāna Plain of the lowlands of eastern Latvia. The terrain is very flat, and large areas are covered by bogs. This landscape gives the surroundings their own character and offers a clear contrast to destinations shaped by mountains or significant changes in elevation.

Poetry as the Heart of the Place

The Broņislavas Martuževas Dzejas klēts is located in Indrāni at Dārziņi 1. The Broņislava Martuževa Poetry Barn can be visited as part of a guided tour. This places a specific cultural site at the centre of engagement with the poet. The memorial and visitor complex surrounding Broņislava Martuževa also includes the Dzejas stropi.

This theme is also continued outdoors: “Broņislavas Rakstu akmeņi” is a stone garden created by the sculptor Ģirts Burvis. Several monumental boulder compositions are inspired by the poet’s life and poetry. The site combines sculptural design with literature and thus offers a different approach from an indoor visit alone.

Events, Songs and Visual Art

The Broņislava Poetry Day has already reached its eighth edition. Its programme includes live performances of songs by Broņislava Martuževa, as well as songs by Jānis Lūsēns with instrumental accompaniment. The venue for the poetry and song day lies in the picturesque area where the Liede and Aiviekste rivers meet. Those wishing to put together a trip centred on literature, music and regional memory will find several cultural points of connection here.

The 2026 event also features the exhibition “Uzglezno Martuževas dzejoli” by the artists’ group from Lubāna. It translates motifs and values from Martuževa’s works into the language of visual art. In this way, the exhibition broadens the poetic focus with a visual perspective.

Wildlife in Rozas

A different travel experience awaits you in Rozas in Indrānu pagasts. Ostriches, Australian emus, South American rheas, peacocks, pheasants, Indian Runner ducks, pigeons, chickens, turkeys, geese and domestic animals are exhibited there. The variety of animals makes this programme item a discovery in its own right alongside the literary sites. Families can therefore include different interests in their travel plans without losing sight of Indrāni’s cultural focus.

The Right Accommodation for Your Travel Plans

When choosing a holiday apartment in Indrāni, the desired mix of activities for your days should be the first consideration. If poetry and regional culture are the focus, you can use the Dzejas klēts, the stone garden, the Dzejas stropi and the event programme as a guide for your planning. If you are more interested in the landscape, the flat Lubāna Plain and the bogs move to the forefront. The wildlife in Rozas adds another clearly distinct focus to your stay.

Indrāni thus remains more than a starting point for an accommodation search: the place offers a combination of landscape, commemorative culture, music, literature, art and wildlife observation. For further travel planning, you can also visit the pages on Lubāna and Meirāni.
