Children camp "Ziemelnikelis"
Not far from Riga, in the outskirts of a small town by the sea is this abandoned summer camp. This camp is a complex of various buildings, that include living houses, cafeteria, storage rooms an other buildings. Before fall of Soviet union, this camp was used as a summer camp for pioneers. Then LCC named "Interskonto-Nikelis" took ownership of the camp. Interskonto is a football club, so this camp was used for summer, and I believe also winter camps for young football players. Nowadays it's probably been abandoned for few years and only residents of the camp are bums. Overall condition of buildings is pretty bad, but there are some renowned buildings, as we found out they have security alarm. Security didn't came by the way..
Name of the camp is weird, Ziemeli stands for north and nikelis is nickel.
Camp is located in a excellent place, just about 70 m from sea. So I believe this land is really expensive, and probably in some time we will see some apartments or a hotel in place of this camp. It's a question of time.
The house from red bricks was also used as a hotel. There also is a water tower, view from it is not so good. Maybe for watching sunset..
I've been to this place two times, August 2011 and March 2012. These pictures are from 2012, previous ones are missing, and when I will find them, they will be uploaded.
