Liepāja Society of the Blind has constructed 3 short paths at its rehabilitation centre Dvēseles veldzes dārzs (soul refreshment garden), which have been particularly adapted for visually impaired – the Barefoot path, the Park of Senses and Labyrinth.
The Park of Senses gives a possibility to feel lots of different plants (herbs, flowers, bushes etc.) – to touch them, smell them, taste them and even do some weeding! The flower-beds have been specially raised a bit higher from the ground to be accessible for people in wheelchairs.
Right beside the Park, in the forest, lies the 530 m long Barefoot path. It’s got specific covering which changes every 10 m and is interwoven with various obstacles of different degrees of difficulty. Also a special Labyrinth has been created which consist of decorative shrubs planted in a maze-type shape with the overall area of 800 m2.
Accessibility
Suggested visiting time: spring – autumn, during opening hours. Barefoot path is not accessible to wheelchair users.
