Beberbeķi Airplanes

On 30 January 2027, join us for “Beberbeķi Airplanes”, the first in-person event of the “Latvian Challenge” hiking series.

The hiking routes lead through the peaceful pine forests of Beberbeķi, past Beberbeķi Lake and recreational areas, gradually entering the world of Riga Airport and aviation. Along the way, you can discover the Riga Aviation Museum, watch aircraft, explore the Skulte area, visit the “Mētras” lavender fields and see the historic White Cross. What makes these routes special is the contrast between quiet forests and aircraft taking off nearby.

Large Loop

The longest and most varied route also takes you to Piņķi, past the historic Piņķi Church, the Beberbeķi German War Cemetery and the impressive “RĪGA” sign. A journey combining nature, history and aviation.

Medium Loop

This route combines the Beberbeķi forests, the airport surroundings, Skulte Nature Park and lavender fields. Towards the end, secluded forest trails offer a small adventure – crossing a ditch on a fallen tree.

Small Loop

The shortest route lets you enjoy the Beberbeķi forests, the surroundings of the Aviation Museum, Skulte Nature Park and the lavender fields. There is also a touch of adventure, with a ditch to cross on a fallen tree along the forest trails.
