Brīvprātīgo kustības attīstības sākums Latvijā – iedvesmojoties no Norvēģijas pieredzes
Šī gada 8. decembrī Tukums kļuva par nozīmīgu tikšanās vietu Kurzemes plānošanas reģiona īstenotās iniciatīvas ietvaros, kas veicina brīvprātīgo kustību un iekļaujošu tūrismu Latvijā. Pasākums norisinājās Eiropas Ekonomikas zonas finanšu instrumenta programmas "Vietējā attīstība, nabadzības mazināšana un kultūras sadarbība" Divpusējās sadarbības fonda ietvaros, īstenojot projektu “Baltijas - Ziemeļvalstu pieredzes apmaiņa brīvprātīgo kustību līdzdalībā un iekļaujoša tūrisma veicināšanā”.
Tikšanās mērķis bija dalīties Norvēģijas pieredzē, kas iegūta pieredzes apmaiņas brauciena laikā, un apspriest brīvprātīgo kustības izveides perspektīvas un iespējas Latvijā. Pasākumā tika īpaši uzrunāti brīvprātīgie, kuri iepriekš iesaistījušies tādu garo distanču pārgājienu maršrutu kā “Mežtaka” un “Jūrtaka” attīstībā.
Lai arī sākotnēji pieteicās vairāk nekā 15 dalībnieki, tikšanās brīdī piedalījās 9 brīvprātīgie – skaits, kas izrādījās pietiekams, lai uzsāktu vērtīgu dialogu un veidotu brīvprātīgo organizācijas pamatus. Sanāksmes galvenais rezultāts bija dokumentācijas sagatavošana, lai 2025. gada janvārī reģistrētu biedrību (kuras nosaukums līdz tās dibināšanai, lai paliek noslēpums) Latvijas Republikas Uzņēmumu reģistrā.
Pasākums iezīmēja nozīmīgu soli Latvijas brīvprātīgo kustības attīstībā un radīja pamatu ilgtermiņa sadarbībai, kas veicinās reģionu attīstību un iekļaujošu tūrisma pieredzi. Šis brauciens un tikšanās neapšaubāmi kļūs par paliekošu ieguldījumu Latvijas tūrisma un sabiedrības attīstībā, iedvesmojoties no labās prakses piemēriem Norvēģijā.
Kurzemes plānošanas reģions ar lepnumu atzīmē šīs iniciatīvas nozīmīgumu un aicina iesaistīties visus, kas vēlas veidot iekļaujošāku un dinamiskāku sabiedrību Latvijā.
Brīvprātīgo kustības tikšanās organizēta Eiropas Ekonomikas zonas finanšu instrumenta 2014.-2021.gada perioda programmas "Vietējā attīstība, nabadzības mazināšana un kultūras sadarbība. Divpusējas sadarbības fonda Kurzemes plānošanas reģiona īstenotās DSF iniciatīvas “Baltijas - Ziemeļvalstu pieredzes apmaiņa brīvprātīgo kustību līdzdalībā un iekļaujoša tūrisma veicināšanā” ietvaros.
Informāciju sagatavoju un plašāku informāciju par šo iniciatīvu varēs sniegt:

Hiker-friendly
28.10.2020
What is Hiker-friendly sign for travelers and tourism service providers?
Hiking tourists are in close contact with the region in which they are and find it particularly important to feel that they are welcome and understood. This emotion is primarily created by visual information such as information stands, directional signs, appropriate information materials, thematic books and guidebooks. Hikers are expecting to find necessary products at local shops, as well as knowledgeable and helpful people who want to assist them. The “Hiker-Friendly” sticker or label is an effective way of demonstrating that the target audience is welcome. The labels are well-known all over the world, and travellers who spot them clearly understand that their needs will be understood and that there will be someone who will be prepared to share valuable information. From now on, such a sign will be also throughout the Baltics - Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.
The “Hiker-Friendly” sign is available to any service providers for tourists in the Baltic States that want to be “friendly” toward hikers and to offer the relevant services to the target audience. This may be a part of a certification programme, and the signs are only received by venues which meet the relevant criteria. The labels may also be used by responsible tourism organisations, with businesses being free to choose whether or not they want to post the label. In other cases, this can be the initiative of businesses as such.
Hikers and entrepreneurs can find the Hiker-friendly sign and criteria here: https://baltictrails.eu/en/forest/marketing
We invite in this autumn hiking enthusiasts to enjoy an active holiday in the Forest trail and other hiking routes to see the Hiker-friendly hospitality for themselves!
Shopping near the route
We have gathered together the information where there are shops near the Forest trail route, where you can buy small gas cylinders for primroses. There are hikers, especially long distance hikers, who take this equipment with them and prepare coffee, tea or a meal.
Information is summarized here: https://baltictrails.eu/en/forest/route/info - in the sub-section "Useful advice".
Let the Baltic Forest trail hiking begin!

Forest trail is a hiking route that leads through the most beautiful forests of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. We have opened the Mežtaka website with information for planning walks and hikes and invite you to go to the forest on the next weekend - first here, in the part of the Latvian route! We have opened the Forest trail website with information for planning walks and hikes and invite you to go to the forest on the next weekend - first here, in the part of the Latvian route!
The last km of the Forest trail is getting marked right now in Lithuania and Latvia. Still you can start your hiking adventures by using the descriptions, maps and downloadable GPX routes. The Forest trail is still under construction, so the information on the website may not be complete - for example, a photo or description may be missing in some of the intended languages. When planning a holiday trip in the near future, use the contact information in the descriptions to contact the service providers you need, such as accommodation, caterers, in advance and make sure they are working.
Each day of the Forest trail has a description - start and end points, how long the expected walk will be, what the road surface is, what will be worth seeing along the way. You can read more information about the most interesting and significant places, landscapes, nature landmarks and see the photo, so as not to miss the views on the way. No less important - every day you can also find information on places to eat, buy water and snacks, and also spend the night. The description and map show which sections are suitable and accessible for shorter walks.
The total length of the Forest trail is ~ 2141 km. When the borders are open, you will also be able to enjoy the forests and open air of the Baltic States. In Lithuania, the Forest Trail crosses the Žemaitija and Dzūkija National Park, the Nemunas Loop Regional Park and Kaunas. The Forest Trail in Latvia crosses the Gauja National Park, the protected landscape area of Ziemeļgauja and Veclaicene. In Estonia the trail crosses the Haanja Highlands, the Land of Setu (Setom, and along the western shore of Lake Peipus to Northern Estonia. Further along the coast of Northern Estonia and the Lahemaa National Park Peninsula, to Tallinn. The Forest trail is an international part of the European long-distance hiking route E11.
Don't miss the most beautiful time in the nature - spring; let's go in to the woods!
