Ēvaži Nature Trail

Distance: 0,6 km (one way)

 

Ēvaži Steep and nature trail

The well-kept nature trail leads to the Gulf of Riga coastline rarity – Ēvaži Steep (up to 15m high, its vantage platform offers a most scenic view of the gulf) and coastal forests.

 

Ēvaži Steep is the highest steep of the entire coastline of the Gulf of Riga, second only to Jūrkalne Steep. Driving along the Riga–Kolka highway, the steep can be found at the very border of the Slītere National Park.

 

The steep top opens a panorama of the sea while, weather coonditions permitting, the steep itself can be seen from as far as the cape of Kolka.

The trail starts near the highway Riga-Kolka (P 131) at the border of Slītere National Park marked with the brown sign Ēvažu stāvkrasts (Ēvaži Steep) and introduces visitors to one of the few steep coasts of the Gulf of Riga – Ēvaži Steep, which is 815 m high. This is a one-way trail, the route out and back takes about 1,2 km. The trail leads to a nice wooden viewing platform with stairs going down to the beach. The edge of the bluff opens an amazing sea panorama. The beach line is quite thin and during stormy weather it disappears in the waves completely. Thanks to the ground waters of Bažu bog, which filter down into the soil and flow out onto the surface of the beach, the sand of the beach is always wet.
