7km Greenway between the ancient fishermen's villages
The 7km Greenway between the ancient fishermen's villages Mazirbe and Sīkrags is located on a narrowly stretching land along the Baltic Sea on one side and the inland part of Slītere National Park, where the narrow-gauge railway once used to go. The Greenway leads mostly through forests and has a sand/grass surface. There are also wooden cycling/pedestrian bridges over small rivers, prohibiting motorised traffic. It is recommended to start the journey at Cape Kolka, from there you can choose how to reach the Greenway – either by low-traffic asphalted road or cycling directly on the seaside.
Route length: ~ 27 – 30 km in one direction depending on whether forest roads, seashore or the asphalted road option is chosen. Alternatives: The opposite direction can be taken or the route may be started at any other point. In any of the villages it is possible to turn back by choosing one of the three above mentioned parallel roads or to continue going the same direction along any of the parallel roads to cape Kolka.
