Difficulty level: 

Obstacles: The Ķīšupe River can be crossed via bridge. The port of Zvejniekciems has to be bypassed, the Aģe River can be crossed by using the cable-stayed bridge. You can wade across the brooks during low water. It is easier to walk across the shoals if the sea has “retreated”.

Dangerous places: The stones overgrown with algae are slippery. A lot of stones “move”. You will need suitable (closed) footwear and walking poles for support.

Good to know! In some places, fine gravel is washed ashore which makes walking difficult.

Alternatives: In case of strong wind, you can reach Zvejniekciems village via forest trails, while to go from Zvejniekciems to Ārņi village you can use a coastal road. Vigorous walkers can combine this section with the next day’s one and finish in Tūja.
