A cool salt breeze meets pine resin as the trail drops from shaded trunks onto open sand—this half-day hike threads four distinct ecosystems along Latvia's Gulf coast. Start beneath wind-pruned Scots pines whose roots grip glacially deposited dunes, skirt a chain of small, wild coastal lakes that collect rain and runoff, walk long stretches of quiet Baltic sand, and finish at the braided marshes of the Gauja River delta where reeds lean into the current.

This coastline reflects post-glacial changes and centuries of local fishing culture; small settlements used seasonal fishing and salt-smoked fish as staples.
