For a short getaway to Latvia, by the sea!

When it’s neither winter nor spring outside, the urge to travel abroad kicks in. Maybe toward the sea? We invite you to a town that’s neither a capital nor a hot resort — almost like our Trakai, only it’s Kemeri. Located just outside Riga, the seaside is within walking distance. And although we’re heading to neighboring Latvia, this is a true spa resort — rich in sulfur waters and healing mud.

It’s exactly these unique natural features that led to the founding of the Kemeri resort town in the 18th century. Just half an hour from Riga, you’ll arrive in a town famous for its architectural heritage, with the Kemeri National Park right on its doorstep. The park is exceptional for its rich biodiversity, therapeutic mineral waters and mud, and its unique wetland landscapes. Our routes wind all the way to the Baltic Sea itself.

Choosing this alternative spring travel destination will lead you to new experiences that awaken you from winter slumber — and hiking in this resort may just be the best medicine for your health. Choose from four routes: 9, 15, 27, or 37 kilometers.

The number of tickets for the event is limited. Prices will increase on the event day, current prices are listed below.
