Description:
Žibgrava trail is noticeable because of its ravine – at some points its height reaches 15 m. The route stretches through the hilly forest terrain along the picturesque, winding coast of the River Kauliņupīte on two loops – the long loop and the short loop. Ten information stands along the long loop provide catchy information on the plants and animals present here, legends and riddles related to Suiti dialect, revealing correct answers at every next stand. The short loop is called Mazātak and this part of the trail shall be accessible also to wheelchair users.
