Itinerary description
Km 5–10: the trail passes through quiet paved street of two settlements (Gauja & Carnikava) and crosses the river Gauja between them. In Carnikava, there is a full range of services available: shops, cafes, a post office, a tourist information office...
Km 10–16: along trails in a pine forest again.
Km 16–23: along the beach of the Baltic Sea/Gulf of Rīga; alternatively (if it's windy), one can follow a trail paralel to the coast-line in the forest.
Km 23–26: along quiet paved streets in the settlement of Vecāķi; if not tired yet, you can ascend a 15m-high dune within the settlement.
From the end point of the trail, you can reach downtown Rīga by train (hourly; 25min) or by bus #24 (two or three times hourly; 45min.
Total ascent minimal (up to 50m). Every ~3km, there is a train stop nearby (0...2km from the trail; train timetable https://www.pv.lv/en/): you can cut your walk short if you wish/need.
