In our opinion this is a very special route based on two reasons. Firstly, places of interest that are included aren’t found in usual guides. Secondly, you will use isolated, at the same time legal country side and forrest roads that will lead you to unusual, wild places and beaches. To be honest, we were thinking a lot about how much information we can give out to keep roads and nature views the same, but we definitely trust you and believe that you will be fair to nature and everything it can offer. This route is for people who can appreciate the special Baltic sea coastline and its untouched places! 4×4 car is a must have!
Regular car drivers – for you we have “Free wind of the sea” with suitable roads – SDL route Nr.26!
Not only in Jūrkalne you can look for the beautiful steep shores, we will also show others – less known, but no less beautiful steep shores and sea beaches, where you can find the splendour and peace of nature.
The popular and known to many is the “dancing forest ” in the Curonian Spit, Kaliningrad region, but we managed to find a similar one in Latvia as well! Pine trees that have bent so much due to strong winds will leave you surprised. The route is very special and interesting, the only way to check it is to take it!
On this route, you will be able to clearly see how much the Soviet army “liked” the Baltic Sea coast; at one time, a special regime zone was created here, and only people with special passes or local residents were allowed to be here. The presence of the former tank range, various army units and also the modern army can be felt on this route. In many places on the route there are specially protected nature areas – be careful and responsible! Please do not drive off the roads, no matter how tempting it may seem at some point!
This route is for SUV 4×4 vehicles only, which means you won’t be able to make it with the usual car. Sandy and bumpy sections of the road will be your allies for a large part of the route, thus making the route even more interesting and out of the ordinary. Sand, a seemingly easy obstacle, is deceptive and tricky, which can cause even experienced drivers to get stuck. The only legal sand off-road in Latvia close to the sea will allow you to keep your eyes on the track and enjoy the proximity of the seashore from the corners of your eyes at the same time.
