The Vīsraga nature trail leads through Burtnieku Manor Park. Burtnieku manor is privately owned, but unfortunately in a deplorable condition. The nature trail has been created in the Burtnieku lake meadows nature reserve. The trail leads through the park to Lake Burtnieku and one of the stops on the trail is the observation tower. From it you can see the lake and the Burtnieki church tower. People with mobility impairments cannot enter the observation tower. Walking along the trail, you can see various stands that collect information about flora and fauna, the castle ruins of the Livonian Order. A historically important event reminds of itself in the manor park – the place of the premiere of the 1988 rock opera Lāčplēsis. In the manor park, it is better not to follow the path marked “Watching tower 700 m”, but on the adjacent Parka street.
– Moving along the path is preferable with the help of an assistant
– There is no parking for people with disabilities
– The beach of Burtnieku Center does not have a toilet for people with mobility impairments
– On the beach are benches with backrests
