Plieņciems White Dunes Border Trail

The trail is located at the southern border of Plieņciems, going in the direction from Riga to Engure.

The name Plieņciems comes from the Baltic word "pliens" - limestone or mergelis. The village was first mentioned in documents as early as 1551, but it appears on maps as a populated place from 1702. In the middle of the 18th century, the parish register of Engure mentions that there were nine farms in Plieņciems, which had the right to fish in the sea and Lake Engure, as well as to collect sea grass.

The trail leads from the road to the sea, taking walkers across the dune rampart. The surface of the trail is designed in such a way that it is accessible for wheelchair users (preferably with a companion) and families with children in prams. The beach has a changing room and a small playground. There is no designated area on the trail for exchanging places with oncoming traffic.
