There are five wooden sheds on the market place and they are placed on a semi-circle, thus forming a central circle, making it more convenient for the visitors to move around. In the middle of the square there is also an elevated type of flower bed, which will have seasonal plants, but in the winter this place will be successfully used for expositions of various works of art.

The design and layout of the trade site was designed by the landscape architect Anna Kalniņa, who won with her idea during the competition organized by Roja Tourism Association.

Thrommel palace:
Old stories tell that in 14.century, the only real Latvian robber, Trommel, who had owned Trommel palace , lived in the Melnsils, on the shore of the sea. While the ships near Melnsils were waiting for a favourable wind to pass the nearby Kolkas regs, Trommel had robbed the ships and stored the ruined treasure in the basements of the castle. The place and the walls of the castle were visible at the end of the 19. century and at the beginning of 20. century, when the local people used stones and bricks to build the houses.
The Thrommel Palace is unvisible today, but it is an archaeological monument of national importance. The castle is located 400 m north-east from the Melnsils village shop and 100 m from the Krauju houses.

Ēvaži nature trail:
The trail starts near the highway Riga-Kolka (P 131) at the border of Slītere National Park marked with the brown sign Ēvažu stāvkrasts (Ēvaži Steep) and introduces visitors to one of the few steep coasts of the Gulf of Riga – Ēvaži Steep, which is 8-15 m high. This is a one-way trail, the route out and back takes about 1,2 km. The trail leads to a nice wooden viewing platform with stairs going down to the beach. The edge of the bluff opens an amazing sea panorama. The beach line is quite thin and during stormy weather it disappears in the waves completely. Thanks to the ground waters of Bažu bog, which filter down into the soil and flow out onto the surface of the beach, the sand of the beach is always wet.

Old tools for fishermen and farmers off the coast of Kurzeme:
The tools are located in the camping "Melnsils" area.
