Between Saunags and Vaide on the road to Kolka, you will see an area on the left (South) side of the road where there was a massive forest fire in 1992 which burned approximately 3,300 hectares of forest. Biologists use the area to study the regeneration of the forest. There were extensive and destructive fires here during the early 20th century, as well. Swedish scientists say that there have been at least 15 fires in the forests of Šlītere over the last several centuries. The burned area is in a nature reserve and can only be viewed from the road.
