Interreg V-A — Estonia–Latvia

We invite you to the Jūrtaka Spring Hike on May 24: Apšuciems – Engure

04/16/2025

Join this spring’s Jūrtaka hike from Apšuciems to Engure – a 14-kilometre route along wide beaches, pine forests, and charming coastal villages!

The hike will be led by the Jūrtaka team together with volunteers from the Latvian Hiking Club.


At the end of the hike in Engure, participants will be welcomed with a warm campfire soup and the opportunity to learn more about how the Latvian Hiking Club works — and how to join it! This is the first community of its kind in Latvia, where volunteers are actively involved in maintaining long-distance hiking trails. So far, the Latvia Hiking Club volunteers have renewed the Mežtaka trail markings in several sections and carried out clean-up work along the route.

Each participant will receive a special badge as a symbol of being part of the Jūrtaka hiking fan crew, as well as a personal map — “My Hiking Map” — where you can mark the Jūrtaka and Mežtaka sections you've completed, including the date, distance, difficulty, and any other personal notes.

Schedule:
10:00–11:00 – Gathering and registration at Villa Anna in Apšuciems
11:00 – Hike begins
~14:00 – Finish in Engure and a shared meal by the sea

The hike program and practical information are available in the attachment (PDF, in Latvian).
