Description

Žibgrava health trail is noticeable because of its ravine. At some points its height reaches 15 m. The route stretches through the hilly forest terrain along the picturesque, winding coast of the River Kauliņupīte. The ravine attracts with its primordialism, unhampered nature processes and nature diversity. You may spot a number of peculiar, old trees there, a spring, a pond, as well as some protected species like Jet ant, lichen Arthonia spadicea and Liver-brown polypore. Ten information stands along the way provide catchy information on the plants and animals present here, legends and riddles related to Suiti dialect, revealing correct answers at every next stand. A resting area is available at the end of the trail, accessible to people in wheelchairs. Part of the trail may be flooded during the rainy periods, appropriate footwear is advisable.
