Vecumnieki Forests

On 7 February 2026, we invite you to the opening event of the “Vecumnieku Silavas” route, part of the “Latvijas izaicinājums” hiking series.

This will be an adventure for everyone, with three routes of different lengths allowing you to choose the one that suits you best and spend the day hiking at your preferred level of intensity. Each route will include its own challenges, offering a new hiking experience for both those taking fewer steps and those ready to go further, enjoying the harmony of beautiful nature, scenic surroundings, and the tranquillity of deep forests.

Along the routes, members of our team will be there with fun and engaging activities to make the experience even more memorable.

There will be snack stations along the route, where you can refuel before continuing your hike, and at the finish, a delicious soup cooked over a campfire will be waiting for you.

Come and celebrate the joy of hiking with us in Vecumnieki Parish!
