Tūrisma gide Ineta Jansone piedāvā ekskursijas grupām uz Melnalkšņu dumbrāja laipu. Melnalkšņu dumbrāja laipa ir viena no īsākajām un interesantākajām takām Ķemeru nacionālajā parkā (600 m). Melnalkšņu dumbrājā Vēršupītes krastos novērojami dabiskam mežam raksturīgi elementi – jauni, kā arī veci un dobumaini koki, kritalas, sausoņi, ciņi. Daudzveidīga ir meža putnu fauna. Jebkurā gadalaikā melnalkšņu dumbrājs ir īpašs. Taču visā krāšņumā dumbrājs atklājas tieši pavasarī. Vēršupītes pālu laikā ūdeņi pārklāj lielāko dumbrāja daļu, bet visapkārt zied zeltainās purenes, gaiss vibrē no putnu dziesmām un dzeņu bungošanas.

The building is 24 m long and its tower is 16 m high. The 300-seat church was designed by the architect Jānis Šrēders. The image of Christ on the altarpiece was derived from the vision of the saint, Sister Faustina, of 22 February 1931 in a monastery in Poland. The altarpiece was created by the artist Ēriks Pudzēns. 14 paintings on the walls of the church depict Christ’s path of suffering from conviction to resurrection. The altar is built of ash. On 2 August 1998, a 7.38 m tall cross was consecrated by Saulkrasti Roman Catholic Church of Divine Grace. At night this cross is illuminated.
