Latvia is a funny place for Estonians. There are many things and names in latvian that can mean something in estonian also. For example the name Kuldiga could mean in estonian "Golden Age" or "with a boar".

This bridge in Kuldiga is 164 m long, built in 1874 and is the longest preserved brick road bridge in Europe.

Under the bridge lies the river Venta, and also apparently famous waterfall called Venta Rumba.
Rumba the dance? Turns out Rumba is how latvians say waterfall/rapids 馃榾
