Лесная тропа прибалтики - Wheelchair accesible

Der Baltische Wald-Wanderweg (lettisch Mežtaka) beginnt am Rathausplatz im Herzen der Rigaer Altstadt. Die ersten Kilometer verläuft der Weg entlang der Kaļķu Straße und am Freiheitsdenkmal vorbei, durch den Vērmanes-Garten und die historische Tērbatas Straße. Weiter führt die Strecke über eine Fußgängerbrücke am Zemitānu-Bahnhof und durch den städtischen Biķernieku-Wald und den Šmerļa-Wald. Der Wanderweg durchquert den Stadtbezirk Jugla, vorbei am ethnographischen Freilichtmuseum Lettlands und erreicht über Fußgänger- und Fahrradwege die Ortschaft Baltezers.

Hinter „Rāmkalni“ führt der Baltische Wald-Wanderweg die Steilufer des [Gauja-Urstromtals hinan, passiert das gleichnamige Dorf und führt die Wanderer wieder herunter ins Tal. Weiter überquert der Weg den Lorupe-Fluss und schlängelt sich die Windungen der Gauja entlang, bis er auf einen der eindrucksvollsten Felsen – den Velnala– trifft. Danach wandert man an der sogenannten Kaiseraussicht (Ķeizarskats) und dem Kaiserstuhl (Ķeizarkrēsls), dem Kletterpark „Mežakaķis“ auf dem Kaķīškalns-Hügel sowie der Bob- und Rennrodelbahn Sigulda vorbei, bis der Wanderweg das Stadtzentrum von Sigulda erreicht.

Hinter Sigulda setzt sich der Baltische Wald-Wanderweg entlang des linken Ufers des Vējupītes-Flüsschens fort. Man gelangt bis zum Paradīze-Hügel und steigt die steile hölzerne Treppe hinab, bis man das Gauja-Urstromtal und die Vējupītes-Schlucht erreicht. Der größte Teil dieser Etappe verläuft weiter auf engen, verlassenen Waldpfaden und über kleine Wiesen (im Juni blühen die Pechnelken), durchquert mehrere kleine Täler mit Sandsteinfreilegungen. Die letzten sechs Kilometer führen auf einem kleinen Weg an den Līgatne-Naturpfaden entlang. Vor der Ankunft in Līgatne führt der Baltische Wald-Wanderweg die Böschung des Gauja-Urstromtals hinauf und später wieder ins Līgatne-Flusstal hinab. Am Ufer dieses Flüsschens liegt die ehemalige Siedlung der Papierfabrik Līgatne.

Eine der landschaftlich schönsten Etappen des Baltischen Wald-Wanderweges führt durch die Siedlung der ehemaligen Papierfabrik Līgatne, schlängelt sich auf dem Skaļupes-Pfad und dem mythologischen Pfad an den Spriņģu-Felsen vorbei und kommt an einem skurrilen Objekt aus der Zeit des Eisernen Vorhangs vorbei - dem unterirdischen Sowjetbunker. Weiter setzt sich die Wanderung entlang des Naturschutzgebiets Roči fort, überquert den Amata-Fluss und erreicht über einen geologischen Pfad (die schönste und felsenreichste Strecke entlang der Amata) den Zvārtes-Felsen. Dann führt der Wanderweg das steile Ufer des Amata-Tals hinauf und führt weiter über den historischen Weg von Riga nach Cēsis, den Rakši-Zoo, den Vāļukalns- und Ozolkalns-Hügeln auf den Cīrulīšu-Naturpfaden, die eine Reihe von Sandsteinfelsen und Quellen zu bieten haben. An der Gaujas Straße ist diese Etappe der Wanderung zu Ende. Falls Sie noch über ein wenig Energie verfügen, würde sich ein Besuch der nur 2,8 km entfernten Altstadt von Cēsis unbedingt lohnen!

Bis zur Wassertouristenunterkunft „Lenči“ verläuft der Baltische Wald-Wanderweg auf Pfaden, die von Wäldern und den Windungen und Altarmen der Gauja eingerahmt werden. Kurz vor den Ērģeļu-Felsen verändert er sich – mal geht es über die steilen und quellenreichen Böschungen des Gauja-Urstromtals hinauf, dann wieder hinunter in die Schlucht. Hinter den Ērģeļu-Felsen führt der Wanderweg wieder ein Stück in Richtung Cēsis, biegt dann aber in Pieškalni gen Rāmnieki ab und überquert dort die Gauja über eine Brücke. Hinter der Wassertouristenunterkunft „Jāņrāmis“ führt der Baltische Wald-Wanderweg mit mehreren kleinen Kurven durch einen schönen, lichten Nadelwald und erreicht mit „Caunītes“ einen der schönsten Rastplätze am Ufer des Flusses.

Der Baltische Wald-Wanderweg durchquert das historische Stadtzentrum von Valmiera und einen Erholungspark mit mehreren Wander- und Nordic Walking Routen, führt über eine Schrägseilbrücke und passiert im weiteren Verlauf die Pauku-Kiefern und den Baiļu-Hügel. Auf dem Abuls-Pfad, der sich entlang der steilen und wilden Ufer des Flusses schlängelt, geht der Wald-Wanderweg bis zur Bierbrauerei Brenguļi weiter. Hinter der Siedlung Pūpoli wandert man durch dünn besiedelte Gebiete und großflächige Waldmassive. Die erste Hälfte dieser Strecke zeichnet sich durch die vielen Sommerhaussiedlungen – Enerģētiķis, Saulītes, Sprīdītis, Gaujmaļi, Pūpoli und Gaujaslāči – aus, die während der Sowjetzeit für die Arbeiter der Industriebetriebe von Valmiera und Umgebung eingerichtet wurden. Im weiteren Verlauf führt der Weg bei Ūdriņas durch ein Altarm-Labyrinth, biegt dann nördlich ab und überquert die Gauja über eine Brücke, an der eine Anlegestelle für Kanufahrer und ein Freizeitplatz eingerichtet sind. Von hier aus sind es noch etwa anderthalb Kilometer bis zum Ortskern von Strenči. Ein Teil dieser Strecke verläuft durch das Landschaftsschutzgebiet „Nord-Gauja“.

The beginning of the Forest Trail at this section coincides with the Gauja Nature Trail, which runs along the very bank of the river. The Forest Trail crosses the A3 in two places (before the turn to Seda and before Kauči) (be careful!) and continues along small forest roads, a sand-gravel quarry, then continues down a gravel road at the turn to Oliņas. After 3.5 km, turn right again and follow the route to Spicu Bridge via small and remote forest roads where some of the most beautiful sights of the Northern Gauja (“Ziemeļgauja”) protected landscape area can be seen by the so called Zemā sala (Low Isle). A picnic area and a camp are located at the end of this section, where the P24 crosses the Spicu Bridge.

The Forest Trail crosses Spicu Bridge and leads to the four Kokši lakes (about 4 km), which are interconnected by a small stream. Here you will find a picnic area, tent spots and a nature trail for travellers. The surrounding nature is beautiful, and the forests are rich in edible mushrooms. After passing the last of the Kokši lakes, Lake Dibena, in an hour or two you will reach the Cirgaļi dune massif, which you will cross towards north-south. The further section of the Forest Trail crosses a large forested area, and a lone homestead or a smaller lake can be seen here and there. The section ends in a small village named Zaķi. The village provides no services, so be sure to consider the necessary arrangements and accommodation options as you plan your hike. The section is located in the Northern Gauja  (“Ziemeļgauja”) protected landscape area.

Nearly half of this section runs on straight polder roads of the Lake Peipus lowlands. The polders are designed to protect the surrounding land from flooding in spring. The flat polder meadows are used for agriculture and grazing livestock. The section from Naha to Mehikoorma leads along the Räpina‒Mehikoorma roadway. A beautiful view of Lake Lämmijärv opens from the Mehikoorma Lighthouse. This lake is a narrowing between Lake Pskov and Lake Peipus. Russia lies on the other side of Lake Lämmijärv (1.7 km).

The stage fully justifies the name of the Forest Trail, as the next three days lead through one of Estonia's largest wetlands, the Emajõe-Suursoo wetland, which is surrounded by extensive forest areas. The only settlement area between Jõepera and Ahja River is Järvselja, enclosed by forests. The terrain is flat, since the Forest Trail still runs through the Lake Peipus lowlands. The destination is located by the Ahja River, which is known for its scenic Devonian sandstone outcrops and a popular boat route.

The Forest Trail has been circling around the Emajõe-Suursoo (a part of the Peipsiveere nature reserve) wetland for three days now. The most interesting part of the walk is the section between Vanaussaia and Varnja, where the Forest Trail runs along small rural roads. Before Varnja it reaches the shore of Lake Peipus (Peipsi), and here you can really feel the true size of the lake. The following distance from Varnja to Remniku along the shores of Lake Peipus and the surrounding territory will take about one week. Over this week, the hikers will learn more about the traditional culture of Eastern Estonia, such as onion cultivation, fishing, culinary heritage, crafts and the culture of the Old Believers.

Behind Vasavere, the Forest Trail continues through the Kurtna landscape reserve, encircles over a peat bog, crosses the town of Oru, passes through the Voka River valley and arrives at the Baltic Sea, where it turns west. Here, on the coast of the Gulf of Finland, rises the North-Estonian Klint – a steep, rocky and forest-covered cliff that stretches non-continuously to Tallinn and further to the islands of West-Estonia. The Forest Trail runs on top of the cliff and occasionally descends into valleys. It crosses the deep and vast Pühajõgi valley in the Toila-Oru park and comes to Toila, a popular coastal resort.

One of the most unusual sections of the Forest Trail in Northern Estonia, which leads along the foot of the impressive North- Estonian Klint in good weather, then climbs to the top of the klint in the villages of Valaste and Saka, revealing breath-taking views of the Gulf of Finland from the so-called Viru Rise. In the Saka‒Ontika‒Toila section (about 23 km), the maximum height of the North-Estonian Klint reaches 55 m. If the weather is clear, you can see the isles named Great and Small Tütarsaar, which belong to Russia, at a 50 km distance.

Behind the village of Vainupea, the Forest Trail enters the first Estonian national park ‒ Lahemaa, which means “the land of bays” in Estonian. For the next five and a half days, the Forest Trail will continue along the bays and peninsulas of Lahemaa national park, introducing the hikers to its most significant natural and cultural heritage. Special attention must be paid to the rules of the park. On this day, the Forest Trail passes through beautiful and quiet coastal forests, where mushrooms grow abundantly in autumn. It passes through the scenic Altja fishing village. The section comes to an end at Oandu in the visitor centre of the Estonian State Forest Management (RMK), where hikers can learn more about forest habitat types and forest management traditions.

The next 9 kilometres of the Forest Trail between Oandu and Võsu coincide with the RMK trail, so be aware of the change of the signs. The trail goes through a beautiful, wooded inland dune area, where hikers can see cuts on pine trees, used to extract resin from the trees. Resin was obtained in the Baltic States using this method up to the 1960s-1970s. Trees are richly covered in lichen, indicating that the air is clean. In autumn, mushrooms and blueberries adorn the edges of the trail. After passing through Võsu village (a popular resort), the Forest Trail continues along a beautiful coastal forest promenade to Käsmu village. It is worth walking an additional extra kilometre to the Vana-Jüri rocks and the historical sites of Käsmu at the tip of the peninsula.

On this day, the Forest Trail crosses the Juminda Peninsula. After leaving Loksa,  in 7 km it passes by a Soviet-era military object, the Hara Submarine Port. To visit it, you have to take a two-kilometre detour and buy a ticket. The Forest Trail goes through an area of beautiful forests and marshes, with high, dense forested sand dunes at the western end of the territory. It continues down the road from Pedaspea to Tsitre and passes a small section of the North-Estonian Klint just before Tsitre, where the Muuksi stronghold hill is located. The Tsitre picnic area is located 0.2 km from the sea.

A harbour was established at the Tsitre village as early as the Viking times. The first 4 km of the Forest Trail in this section pass through the territory of the Lahemaa national park. Between the villages of Muuksi and Soorinna, the road crosses an oval plateau, the klint elevation of northern Estonia, covered with scenic juniper fields. At the village of Põhja, the trail passes by the coastal wetland, and comes out by the sea behind the Salmistu harbour. From here, look out for the 1.3 km distant Pedassaar isle to the northeast, and the Umblu and Rohusi isles to the northwest. On Valkla beach, a nice beach restaurant awaits hikers. In Haapse the beach you can swim, sea gets quickly deep.     

The Forest Trail passes through the most densely forested area of the Viimsi Peninsula, where several nature protection areas have been established. It crosses the former Soviet-era military territory in Rohuneeme. On this day, the Forest Trail follows along pedestrian sidewalks and the many roads running through the peninsula. It turns south at Püünsi village, where towers, skyscrapers and the Port of Tallinn with ferries can be seen in the distance across the Gulf.

The Forest Trail passes by the Gulf of Tallinn, and beautiful views of the towers, harbour and skyscrapers of the city can be seen as early as in Püünsi. The Forest Trail turns into a beautiful pine forest before Pirita, then follows along a sandy beach for 2 km. Behind Pirita all the way to the Port of Tallinn, the Forest Trail takes you along the beautiful city waterfront promenade, which overlooks the city’s most important cultural and historical sites, and offers beautiful views of the sea and the port. The final destination of the Forest Trail is located in the Port of Tallinn, next to the Old Town. You can spend another day or two visiting various tourist locations of Tallinn.

Repeating the loops of the Nemunas, the Forest Trail throws more than 20 km long bends in Nemunas Loops Regional Park, winding through open landscapes and small villages with typical wooden buildings painted in different shades. A larger forest massif there is only between Siponiai and Puzoniai villages, through which the route leads along small forest roads. Crossing the Vilnius–Marijampolė road (A16), the Forest Trail descends to the next circle of the Nemunas, where the popular Birštonas resort is located. Along the sidewalk of B. Sruogos street, the Forest Trail reaches the Birštonas Tourism Information Center.

For the first 3.5 km, the Forest Trail leads through beautiful coniferous forests that cover the slopes of the Žemaitija Upland. Up to the Cold War exposition, it coincides with the Plokštinė cognitive trail. From the museum, the Forest Trail for 5 km follows the Plokštinė road, where a pedestrian / bicycle path has been created and, approaching Plateliai lake, descends into the lowland of the lake. At the road No. 3202 (Malūno street) , the Forest Trail turns left to the south-east and after 0.3 km turns right to right to the south-southwest. After about 0.5 km it reaches Ilgio Ežero street. For the next 5.5 km, the Forest Trail forms a wide circle around Ilgis and Beržoras lakes, reaching the Beržoras village. After the village, after 2 km along Plungės street, the Forest Trail reaches the centre of Plateliai and throws another circle along Ežero street to the beach and Šeirė educational trail. Then along Ežero, Naujoji and Žemaičių Kalvarijos streets, the Forest Trail returns to the centre of the town.

The Forest Trail for 6 km runs along the edge of the Plateliai–Salantai (No.2302) road. At this section, there opens up the view of the landscapes of the western part of the Žemaitija Upland over the Pajūris Lowland. In the centre of Gintališkė village, the Forest Trail turns left to the southwest, coming to road No. 3216. After 2.4 km, it turns right to the west, where it crosses the largest forest massif in this section. During the Soviet era, there was a missile base here, as evidenced by the road paved with concrete slabs. Then the Forest Trail briefly follows the Plungė–Salantai road (No. 169) and after 1.4 km turns left. Up to Salantai, it wanders through a small country road, and the small-town centre is reached through Žemaitės and M. Valančiaus streets. The beginning of this section is in Žemaitija National Park, but the last part is in Salantai Regional Park.

From the small-town of Salantai, the Forest Trail goes along M. Valančiaus, Padvaralio and Ilgoji streets. 100 m before road No. 169 the Forest Trail turns left on a country road, after 3.5 km reaches Erlos street and turns left to the west. After 0.4 km it turns right to the north and reaches Šatraminiai village. There, it turns right to the southwest, after 2.9 km crosses the Salantai–Skuodas road (No. 169) and in Šaukliai village turns left to the north, after 3.8 km reaching Mosėdis, the destination of the section. Most of the section, except for the Šatraminiai area, runs through the territory of Salantai Regional Park.

The Lithuanian – Latvian border in nature is marked by the Apše river, which the Forest Trail crosses, entering Latvia via the Skuodas – Priekule road bridge (P114). The Forest Trail initially winds along the side of the road, but after 1.7 km turns onto a gravel road in the direction of Kalēti. Starting from the surroundings of Ozolu village, the view opens up to the beautiful and wide landscapes of the Vārtāja undulating plain of the Rietumkursa Upland. In Ozoli, the Forest Trail for 0.5 km follows the road V1217, then turns right and after 2 km reaches the Bārta–Kalēti–Gramzda road (V1218), that leads to Gramzda.

After Gramzda the Forest Trail as a small path swirls along sand and gravel quarries and along a straight path through the agricultural landscape moves northeast. At the Lejasbunči house, it turns to Mazgramzda. Before Mazgramzda, the Forest Trail crosses the deep and shady Ruņupe valley. After Mazgramzda, it runs along the Gramzda–Priekule road (P 114), from which there open up beautiful landscapes of the Vārtāja undulating plain of the Rietumkursa Upland. After crossing this road, it runs along the former airfield, crosses the Priekule–Purmsāti–Kalēti road (V 1211) and throws a circle through a small wooded area. Along the banks of the winding Virga river, the Forest Trail leads through the forest park “Priekules Priediens”, from which there is visible the destination of this section.

The Forest Trail along Atmodas and Jelgavas streets winds through Aizpute, after the Laža water reservoir turns right, and approaches the Kazdanga manor park with a large circle from the south. As a small path, it leads along Dzirnavu lake through the manor park, around the manor and Zēnu pond, for 0.7 km continues along the Kazdanga–Cildi road (V1200) and then turns right onto the Snēpele–Kazdanga road (V1296). Up to the country house “Zemturi”, the Forest Trail gradually rises in the Bandava hills of the Rietumkursa Upland, revealing beautiful views in both directions. The height of the relief here reaches a maximum of about 81 m above sea level. From “Zemturi”, for about 12 km , the Forest Trail leads through a sparsely populated forest massif and only in the last 3 km comes out again in an open area with agricultural lands and farmsteads, reaching Snēpele.

Along the main street of Snēpele, the Forest Trail takes the road V1294 and after 0.3 km opposite Ķepšu lake turns right onto a small country road. Along this road, the Forest Trail bends to Slipiņciems, before crossing Sprincupe along the dam, where a pond has been created. Then the Forest Trail goes in the direction of Pelči. Nearby Pelči, the trail bends along Pelču Dambu ponds, leads to the Kuldīga–Pelču road (V1293) and further stretches through the Kuldīga garden areas – “Kurzemīte” and “Rumba”, until it reaches the Venta bank and the Kuldīga bypass. From there to the Old Brick Bridge, the Forest Trail for 2.4 km leads along a beautiful Venta coastal path, where there are wooden bridges and footbridges in wetter places and across streams town of Kurzeme.

After the Old Brick Bridge across the Venta river, the Forest Trail continues for a short time on the right bank of the Venta, notched by ravines, then, along Krasta street and Vetklīnika–Paleja road, it crosses Kalnmuiža forest and Riežupe and further up to Mazrenda continues along the roads of the vast Renda forest massif. The terrain is flat here, because this section is part of the Pieventa plain of the Kursa Lowland. In Mazrenda, the Forest Trail crosses a sand-gravel quarry and takes you to the centre of Renda along Kuldīgas street. The section belongs to the territory of the nature reserve “Ventas ieleja” and the nature park “Riežupe”.

The Forest Trail continues along the left bank of the Abava, along Kr. Barona street. Further, as a small path, it crosses the meadows and forest clusters of the Abava valley until it reaches a hill called the Swedish hat (Zviedru cepure). After Zviedru cepure, the Forest Trail goes along a small country road to the Plosti – Pūces road (V1471), crosses Amula and at Kalnmuiža winds up in the Abava valley, along which the next 6 km leads to Aizdzire Manor park. Another 1 km to the north the Forest Trail crosses the Abava valley in its full width, revealing some of the most beautiful views of the valley. The depth of the Abava valley in this place is about 40 m. After the Fisherman's Bridge (Zvejnieku tilts), the Forest Trail rises on the northern slope of a valley where vineyards are planted. Winding through the forest, it crosses the Kandava–Renda road (P130) and further along Sabiles street reaches Kandava. Along the Lauku, Ozola, Zīļu, Sabiles and Pils streets of this picturesque small-town the Forest Trail reaches the Knights' Castle Mound. Throughout the section, the Forest Trail winds through the nature park “Abavas senleja” (“Abava valley”).

Along Jelgavas street, crossing the old boulder bridge over Abava, the Forest Trail along Daigones street and further along a gravel road leads to the 5 km distant Daigone village, after which it descends along the Dziļkalns–Pūre road (V1464) in the Abava valley. After the bridge over Abava, the Forest Trail turns right and along a small path reaches Pūre. Circling around the Pūre Manor, it stretches for the next 5 km to Galciems along Zemeņu street and Pūre–Jaunsāti (C004) road. Sand and gravel are mined here in the quarries of the region. In Galciems, the Forest Trail turns left onto a small gravel road (C003), which after 3.5 km connects with Jaunmoku–Jaunsāti road (V1444). After another 3 km, the Forest Trail crosses the Rīga–Ventspils highway and reaches Jaunmoku palace along small paths surrounded by tree alleys. Approaching the palace from Jaunsāti, you can see the beautiful wide landscapes around the Forest Trail, where Spārnene, the wavy plain of Austrumkursa, alternates with Vanema hills.

Jaunmoka lossi ümbruses paelub matkajaid Austrumkursa kõrgustikul asuvate Vanema mägede mitmekesine reljeef. Metsa matkarada laskub Bēru vesiveski juurde, seejärel tõuseb Vecmokase poole suundudes kolme kilomeetri jooksul 50 meetri võrra kõrgemale, et avada vaated lõunasse jäävale laiale Slocene orule. Pärast Vecmoka mõisaalleed ristub Metsa matkarada Tukumsi–Lazdasi teega (V1442), teeb looke ümber trobikonna talude ja möödub siis sirget metsateed pidi Sekļa järvest. Järve äärde viivad mitmed väiksed teekesed. Sveikuli puhkeküla lähedal jätkub rada ilusatel metsateedel, kuni jõuab Ozoliņi kalmistu juures Tukumsi–Kesterciemsi–Kolka teele (P131). Siin on Tukumsi linnapiir. Mööda Raudase, Kurzeme ja Melnezera tänavaid jõuab Metsa matkarada päeva lõpuks Päiksemäele (Saules kalns).

Veidi aega kulgeb Metsa matkarada kultuurmaastikul, jõudes seejärel ilusasse okasmetsa, mööda Čaukciemsi asulast kuni keerab Antiņciemsi–Smārde teele, et siirduda Rohelise Luite (Zaļā kāpa) poole. Maastik on tasane, sest rada on jõudnud Piejūrase madalikul asuvale Engre lammile. Roheliselt Luitelt avanevad ulatuslikud vaated Rohesoole (Zaļais purvs) ja Nõiasoole (Raganu purvs). Väike metsatee viib mööda luitejalamit, kahes kohas viivad purded üle soolappide. Ķemerisse jõudes kulgeb Metsa matkarada piki Partizāna, Robeža, A. Upīša, Katedrāle ja E. Dārziņa tänavaid, mööda rahvuspargi külastuskeskusest ja Vēršupīte jõest, kuhu suubuvad sulfaadirikkad allikad. Rada ületab Tūristi tänava ning viib mööda Dūņu teed edasi Sloka järve poole. Seejärel jõuab rada Vēršupīte lodumetsa, mis on üks omalaadsemaid metsatüüpe kogu Kuramaale jääval Metsa matkaraja osal. Melnezersis keerab matkarada Ķemeri vanale maanteele ning saabub 2 km pärast Bigauņciemsi. Õige pea ületab Metsa matkarada Talsi maantee ning jõuab Liivi lahe rannikule, kus kohtub Ranniku matkarajaga. Kogu päeva teekond möödub Ķemeri rahvuspargis.

Bigauņciemsi külast paistab kogu Jūrmala rannik justkui peopesal. Päeva esimene pool möödub Ķemeri rahvuspargi territooriumil. Jaunkemeri ja Dubulti vahelisel lõigul on võimalik kõndida Liivi lahe kõige laiemal liivarannal. Rada viib läbi Jūrmala ajaloolise kuurordi, mis on Läti pikim linn. Tasub arvestada, et ilusatel suvepäevadel on Jūrmala rannas väga palju rahvast.

Ranniku matkaraja lõigul Dubulti ja Lielupe vahel paikneb Liivi lahe kõige laiem liivarand – oma lugematute rannakohvikute ja puhkamisvõimalustega on see Jūrmala kuurortlinna suurim väärtus ja tõmbenumber. Rannaäärsetes luitemetsades on tihe rajavõrgustik, mis sobib hästi jalutamiseks ja kepikõnni harrastamiseks. Lielupe ranna ja Jūrmala vabaõhumuuseumi vaheline matkaraja lõik kulgeb Ragakāpa looduspargi territooriumil. Buldurisse saab mugavalt tagasi kõndida mööda Bulduri avenüüd või 5. liini.

Ranniku matkaraja lõik kulgeb Jūrmalast läbi metsaste alade Riia suunas. Pärast Lielupe jõe silda lookleb rada läbi puithoonestusega Priedaine linnaosa, piki Lielupe jõe paremkallast ja keerab Bolderāja luite lõunaosa suunas. Põigates läbi Kleistu metsa ja kulgedes paralleelselt Lāčupe kalmistuga jätkub matkarada ajaloolises Pārdaugava linnaosas – mööda Buļļi ja Daugavgrīva tänavaid ning läbides Dzegužkalnsi. Möödudes Zunda kanalist ja Āgenskalnsi lahest jõuab matkaja Daugava jõeni, ületab vana kivisilla ja on matkapäeva lõpuks jõudnud Riia raekoja platsile.
