Description

A wide sandy beach stretches from Sīkrags village up to Mazirbe beach which is crossed by the Mazirbe Stream. The Baltic Coastal Hiking Route leads out to the center of Mazirbe village where you can see the Liv National House. Continuing through small forest and country roads past the former Mazirbe Naval school, it winds through small coastal Liv villages: Košrags, Pitrags and then Saunags. The Liv coast is the only place where you can get to know the cultural history heritage of one of the smallest peoples in the world, the Livs. In this section, the indicating signs are in both the Latvian and Liv language.

Itinerary: Sīkrags – Mazirbe – Košrags – Pitrags – Saunags

Road surface: Sandy beaches, forest trails and gravel roads. In Mazirbe Village, asphalt.

Obstacles: You can wade across the small Mazirbe River during low water (there is a bridge ~ 0,5 km away from the sea).

Good to know! Tents can be set up and campfires can be lit only in public rest areas designed for this purpose.

The only shop in the section from Ventspils to Cape Kolka is located in Mazirbe village. The itinerary goes through Slītere National Park.

Alternatives: The distance between Mazirbe village and Saunags village can be covered via the beach. Vigorous walkers can combine this section with the one from the next day and finish in Cape Kolka.
