Air field Liepas was an airfield located 17 km (11 mi) south of Valmiera, a city in Latvia.
It is not known when the airfield was built. The airfield served as a Cold War emergency (wartime) forward operating location and consisted of a single runway with a slightly shorter parallel taxi track and four connecting taxitracks. There is just one small parking area visible on the northwest side of the former airfield, along with some barracks-like buildings.


No photos of the airfield while in use have been located
