ヴィドゼメのおすすめMTBライド

Riga city center <> Jurmala city center is 24 km one way. The bike path is well marked. You will go through the forest and along the railway line. You can easily rent a bike in Riga or Jurmala for this ride, so don't hesitate!

Cremon/Krimuldas Castle was built shortly after 1250 for representative purposes and to protect and manage the estates of the Archbishop of Riga. It was destroyed in 1601 during the Polish-Swedish War. The estate continued to operate, and Krimuldas Palace was built approximately 200 meters to the west to replace the castle. The southern façade of the palace was restored as an artificial ruin to complement its park.

It's really worth it, even if you're afraid of heights, the fear quickly goes away :)

This statue is dedicated to the animal cosmonauts that perished during space flight experiments

Smooth paths that lead through lush greenery and shady forests offer ideal conditions for a relaxed ride. Here you literally glide between the city and the sea, surrounded by the quiet nature and accompanied by the fresh scent of meadow flowers. The route provides variety and a pleasant challenge without becoming too demanding. Perfect for a little break and the ideal mix of urbanity and nature - an absolute insider tip for anyone who wants to discover Latvia by bike!

With its vast forest areas, wide paths and proximity to Lake Ķīšezers, this park offers a fresh change from the hustle and bustle of the city. Here you can relax and roll through shady pine forests while enjoying the clear air. The paths are well developed and mostly flat, which makes the park ideal for a leisurely ride or even a sporty interval training session. A particularly beautiful section takes you along the lake, where you can let your gaze wander over the water and stop at small rest areas along the way. Mežaparks has more to offer than just nature - the park is also culturally exciting: the large concert hall, the open-air museum and some sculptures along the paths give your ride an interesting change and remind you that Mežaparks is also known as a cultural meeting place in Riga.

The rusty steel, the massive supports and the gentle rocking when you drive over them - everything together makes for a little adventure that makes your heart beat faster. The mix of nature around it and the industrial backdrop of the bridge makes this spot particularly exciting.

Mežaparks, one of Riga's oldest garden city districts, is a sprawling and diverse park on the shores of Lake Ķīšezers. Originally known as the Emperor's Park, the area became an exclusive residential area in the early 20th century for Riga's wealthier society seeking to escape the city's noise. Today, the well-preserved Art Nouveau villas still exude this nostalgic charm and are among the city's most sought-after properties. The park offers much more than just architecture. For nature lovers, Mežaparks is a paradise: miles of walking paths, quiet forest trails and the opportunity to practice water sports on Lake Ķīšezers. The impressive amphitheater, designed for the famous Latvian Song Festival, exudes the special energy of this place. The surrounding recreational facilities, such as playgrounds, cafes and bicycle rental, make the park particularly diverse. In addition to the zoo, there are also hidden corners that invite you to explore, and the famous "Mežakaķis" climbing park provides variety. Mežaparks is a place that invites you to linger and explore, not only because of its history, but also because of its lively and at the same time relaxing atmosphere that attracts both locals and visitors. A visit is particularly worthwhile for a leisurely day trip or active recreation in the countryside.
