Naglu dabas rezervats (Naglių gamtos rezervatas)
|
Aiz Gārņu kalna Kuršu jomas pusē sākas ~ 9 km garš klaju un smilšainu kāpu posms, kas ir viena no neparastākajām Baltijas teritorijām. Tās aizsardzības nolūkos ir izveidots dabas rezervāts. Šī ir arī viena no vietām, kur klejojošās smilšu kāpas apraka Kuršu jomas ciemus. Kā to iepazīt? Spēkratu un divriteņu vadītājiem ir jābrauc līdz ceturtajam (pēc kārtas) autostāvlaukumam un jādodas atklāt Baltijas lielākais smilšu tuksnesis. Lai saglabātu šejienes ainavu un trauslo augāju, kā arī neveicinātu smilšu tālāku kustību, cauri Nagļu dabas rezervātam ir izveidota īpaša koka laipu taka. Kāpas augšdaļas smiltājos laipa beidzas, taču tālāk redzams ar koka mietiņiem marķēts „koridors". Šī ir ļoti populāra pastaigu, izziņas, fotografēšanas un gleznošanas vieta. No kāpu vaļņa virsotnes paveras fantastisks skats un Kuršu strēli, Kuršu jomas un Baltijas jūras zilajiem ūdeņiem. Uzmanību! Šī ir vienīgā vieta no Kopgaļa līdz Nidai, kur klajo un smilšaino kāpu apskatei ir izveidota īpaša taka. Citviet pa kāpu smiltājiem staigāt vai citādi pārvietoties nav atļauts! |
