Route description
On this route, there aren’t many “objects of interest” – enjoy the walk and explore the nature around you. I have heard that cycling is also nice to do in this region.
- Start in Taurupe and “along the streets of Taurupe” go in the direction of the former railway.
- When you reach the railway line, go to the left towards the Plauzu lake, where you can also take a moment of rest.
- Then through the forest (if you want, you can also go through a flooded area, but it’s better not to) back to the railway line and for a while walk the same way you came.
- Further on, you will come to the old construction area of the Taurupe station.
- Then after a quite long walk, you will reach the old railway bridge over Licupe, where you can have a proper packed lunch.
- From here, along the shores of Licupe, follow the approximately indicated route.
- When you get to the meadow, do not disturb the residents of the local houses and try to get to the nearest path (improvisation).
- Further go back to Taurupe, after viewing the Taurupes manor, you will be arrived at the starting point.
