To protect the only shrubby cinquefoil growth in Latvia, in 1999, in the nature park "Ancient river valley of Abava", a protected nature area "Shrubby cinquefoil bog" was established. Since 1924, this place has been under the state protection. The trail is set up in a bog, where the shrubby cinquefoil (Pentaphylloides fruticosa) is growing in an area of 96 ha of wilderness. This is the only place in Latvia, where this yellow - blossom plant is growing in such a large area. The trail is marked with path markers. A plank - way is set up 700 m from it, the rest is a forest trail. The total length of the trail is 4 km. Nearby, there is also a sulphur spring.
Cuzu mire trail is a pleasant daytrip with a nice picnic place near the river.
Of course, do not miss the Kandava city, a wonderful latvian town with charm of it's own. After you have seen Kandava, cross the bridge and turn to the direction of "Zemite", after a few hundred meters you will find an arrow to the right, pointing towards the "Cuzu purva dabas taka". The trail is 3km long and a section is made from wooden boards. On the way, you can turn towards the river Abava, to find a charming picnic place, with firewood and a firepit.
Later on the way you can make a small detour to reach the Devils stream, where you can drink wonderful clean water coming out from the earth. There are also wild cows nearby. Please don't pick the flowers, as they are most likely protective species that bloom during various periods during the summer.
