Itinerary description
The trail itself is slightly more than 1 km long, but the car should be parked at some distance before, therefore the total walking distance will take 2 km. The trail is designed to introduce the visitors with the diverse terrain of the area and forest ecosystem, which has not had a significant impact by human economic activity over the last 100 to 150 years. While walking along the trail it is possible to observe the high diversity of plants, mosses, lichens and insects, heritage trees, impressive old-age trees broken by storms, the steep bank of Jāņupīte river. It is also possible to count and calculate the age of the tree by looking at the year rings in its trunk, as well as to see the different types of polypores on the trunks of broken and rotten birches. Being h ere, try to find the longest tree in Latvia - a spruce tree with a height of over 46 m !
