You will start your hike from the popular Latvian spa town of Jūrmala. The route is great for those who like to hike along the coastline, with former fishing villages full of unique coastline charm, as well as lonely and seldom visited beaches. Many villages have small smokehouses where dried fish can be bought. Your destination is Cape Kolka, which the father of Latvia’s maritime school, Krišjānis Valdemārs, considered to be the centre of Europe. The cape has been known as a very hazardous shipping route since the age of the Vikings. Cape Kolka is also a fantastic place to watch birds. Route information from Latvijas Lauku forums |
