Itinerary description
The trail starts near the highway Riga-Kolka (P 131) at the border of Slitere National Park marked with the brown sign “Ēvažu stāvkrasts” (Ēvaži bluff) and introduces visitors to one of the few bluffs of the Riga Gulf – Ēvaži bluff, which is 8-15m high. This is a one-way trail, the route out and back takes about 1,2 km. The trail leads to a nice wooden viewing platform with stairs going down to the beach. The edge of the bluff opens an amazing sea panorama. The beach line is quite thin and during stormy weather it disappears in the waves completely. Thanks to the ground waters of Bažu bog, which filters up onto the surface, the sand of the beach is always wet. Due to humidity, the beach is a great habitat for a rare toad species in Latvia – Natterjack Toad (Bufo calamita).
The trail is accessible for people in wheelchairs (until the viewing platform – which can only be accessed by stairs. Could be an option i fan assistant comes along).
