Description of the trail:
This is a truly beautiful nature trail, which will be especially enjoyed by those who love to take a longer distance walk. The trail stretches along the Viesata River bank through the forest. Walking along the path, you might observe not only the birds, insects and forest plants, but will also see a number of interesting objects – peculiar shape trees, 200-year-old pines, rocky outcrops from sand, loam and pebbles, a spring, swine baths, as well as the spectacular big stone called Spuņņakmens at the farthest end of the trail.
Along the way, there are several viewing spots with benches for observing the scenery of the river circles, and few nice resting areas with games and campfire sites.
Under wet weather conditions, several parts of the trail may be slippery, which makes it difficult to descend/climb up the steep slopes and climbs of the trail.
