Description of the trails:

The suggested starting point of both trails is at the recreation base – Zviedru cepure (Swedish Hat), where a free-of-charge parking lot is available. The Horse trail leads to Sabile, therefore the start of the trail is marked with a sign Sabiles taka (Sabile trail). Further on the information stands along the route mark the trail as Zirgu taka (the Horse trail) together with objects to be visited and detailed route information. The Horse trail has got its name from the route itself, as it introduces to the route that had been used in the old days, when more distant locations had to be reached by horses. The trail stretches along the forest, meadows and Abava River, allowing to enjoy the charming views of the Ancient Valley of Abava, incl. the so called Egypt of Sabile – a resting site famous among the locals – once a meadow, now a very nice pine stand on the coast of the Abava River.

The Love trail offers to experience a small mountain hike. It stretches through the forest with few nice and small bridges, a spring and stairs that lead to the top of the hill opening great view over the Ancient Valley of Abava. Thanks to the outstanding and scenic terrain, this area is called the Switzerland of Kurzeme. A small resting site is available on the top of the hill as well.

Both trails are out&back type trails, therefore the total distance there and back is 7 km.
