Description:
This is a nature trail, where to enjoy nature, water, silence, peace and have a good walk very close to Riga. Suggested in spring, autumn and winter, as in summer this is a very popular place to visit! The trail can be started by heading backwards and continuing the way along the right coast of the lake or starting straight from the parking lot by heading to the left. Going on the right, the trail at first stretches along the asphalt paving and soon the first information stand appears with the picture of the quarry and the route line. When reaching the farthest point of the quarry, the trail continues along the gravel-covered path and when getting on the other side of the quarry – continues along the wooden boardwalk, which gives a truly scenic walk along the left coast of the quarry. Those who’re up to for some more activity may go on a 5 km distance along the recently constructed cycling way, which connects the Līdumu quarry with the Olaine Forest Park, or drive to the Forest Park by car and then hike for at least three more kilometres across the park paths. The Forest Park is worth a visit, here is a modern and spacious children playground, lots of walking paths and the highest graffiti artwork in the Baltics on a 45 m high water tower.
Accessibility
At some asphalt part stretches there are some pits and at the parking lot – sand (though dense and hard), therefore assistant is recommended
Facilities
Coffee machine available at site as well. SUP rent, wakeboard and mobile sauna available during season (Olaine wakepark OWAKE). Toilet is not accessible to wheelchair users.
