The trail (the length 1.2 km) introduces with the habitats of dunes and century-old pines, partly covered with sand. Biologists estimate that the oldest tree, the “mother of pines”, could be around 200 years old. Coastal pine forests serve as a barrier between the sea and land protecting inland areas from impact of the sea and winds. Felling coastal forests was forbidden by law already back in 1643, during the Duchy of Courland. Still due to economic activities, the seashore forests were often fell and fires occurred there occasionally. As a result, the sand which had for centuries been hold by trees, started drifting at Cape Kolka. In the 1930ies, there were about 142 hectares of sandy areas in the Slītere National Park, and 11.5 hectares of those were drifting sand. To stop drifting, the sand areas were carefully afforested. Afforestation was started before WW I and it was completed in the 1970ies. To plant new trees, first the sand had to be stopped. Just 26km to the south from Kolka there was one of the largest sand dunes in Latvia, 25km in length. Every year it devoured 0.3 hectares of land. The sand was stopped covering it with heather, twigs and branches of pines and junipers. Pine trees were planted between them.

Today in Kolka, the old, low pine trees tell about the once drifting sand. After storms, when the water washes the bluff and tree roots are exposed, one can see that the tree trunks once have been covered with sand more than 1 meter high. The trees on the seacoast usually have crooked trunks and flag-shaped crowns formed under influence of persisting sea winds. Now these forests are designated biotope “Wooded dunes of the coast”.

Stable white dunes (biotope 2120) do not form in Cape Kolka as they are washed by sea waters during spring and autumn storms. Embryonic dunes develop here (code 2120) with plants that usually grow in dunes. These plants have adapted well to poor soils, heat, drought, and the saline sea water.

The Kolkasrags Pine Trail is in Slītere National Park.

is seen as the newest village along the Livonian coastline.  It was established during the 17th century.  Košrags had 78 residents in 1826.  The first reading school for Livonian children in the Dundaga seashore villages was opened at the Žoki homestead in 1832.  One of the teachers was Nika Polmanis, who was the first Livonian to have completed a professional education.  He also translated the Gospel of Matthew into the Eastern Livonian dialect.  Košrags had a windmill, water mill and boat building facility.  During the spring, job seekers from Saaremaa stopped here.  A port was installed in 1932, and a breakwater to collect sea fertiliser followed in 1938.  During the 1930s, Košrags was regularly visited by Finnish and Estonian linguists to study the folklore of the Livonians.  The Norpiedagi homestead was built by Livonian activist Didriķis Volganskis (1884-1968).  His son, Livonian cultural worker and pastor (in Finland) Edgars Vālgamā (Volganskis, 1912-2003) was born there.  He translated the Andrejs Pumpurs epic "Lāčplēsis" into Finnish.  Košrags today is a cultural monument of national importance.

Lūznavas muižas apbūve sākusies 1905. – 1911.g. romantiskajā jūgendstilā. Lūznavas muižas īpašnieks bija Krievijas inženieru korpusa ģenerālis, profesors, Pēterburgas Zinātņu akadēmijas goda loceklis, pēc tautības polis, Staņislavs Kerbedzs (1810.-1899.), kurš pēc profesijas bija dzelzceļu inženieris. S.Kerbedzs bija pirmais Krievijas inženieris, kurš izstrādāja tiltu arhitektoniskā risinājuma principus, pēc kuriem vadījās 19. gs. otrajā pusē. Viņa vadībā cēla Blagoveščenskas tiltu pāri Ņevai Sanktpēterburgā. S.Kerbedza meita Jevgenija bija pazīstama kā mākslas mīļotāja, kura no Itālijas vedusi dažādus mākslas priekšmetus. Tādejādi Lūznavas muiža vasarās kļuva par iecienītu mākslinieku atpūtas vietu. Te viesojies slavenais lietuviešu gleznotājs un komponists M.K.Čurļonis. Mūsdienās Lūznavas muižu ieskauj 23,7 ha liels ainavu parks ar 7 dīķu sistēmu. Netālu no muižas –  parkā atrodas Madonnas skulptūra. Īstais skulptūras autors īsti nav zināms, viena no versijām, ka skulptūra ir gatava atvesta no Itālijas un uzstādīta, otra versija, ka skulptūras autore varēja būt poļu tēlniece Jūlija Stabrovska, kura vasarās ir ciemojusies Lūznavas muižā. 20.gs. 50.gados skulptūra tika nogāzta no pjedestāla un iegrūsta dīķī. 1991.gadā tika uzstādīta un iesvētīta jaunā skulptūra. Muiža un parks ir apskatāma gan individuāli, gan gida pavadībā.
