What awaits you?
Although there is a very cool official nature trail along the Mālpils river in Mālpils, sometimes you want to go somewhere else, that’s why this route was created. It covers the cultural and historical monuments of Malpils and a walk along country roads to Sidgunda. The walking is not difficult, mostly on wide and flat roads.
Route description
