Probably the most beautiful skating rink is located in Cēsis, in the picturesque Cēsis Castle Park. The silhouette of a medieval castle, the sculpture of a park pond fountain, Nut Hill, the park’s mighty trees and gazebos make a great place to relax. Persistent frost has ensured that the park’s ponds are covered with a thick layer of ice, so that Cesis residents and city guests can skate safely.

Taking into account the response of the audience, the creative team of the song has decided to call Cēsis and Cēsis together for a new challenge – Dance at home!
