15 1 0125 0 Durbe Mežaine (D) - Saka (E)  
 

After Mežaine bridge (D) much more beautiful and interesting section is starting again - the river flows through the forest and somewhere on the banks the oak groves can be seen. There are high steep slopes, but 4km downstream the Mežaine bridge on the left bank of the river there are clearly visible Sēku oaks. In the next 6 km the river becomes increasingly slower, flowing through a thick forest of different trees. Behind the reinforced concrete bridge at “Unguri” house the flow again becomes more rapid, but it is not for a long time, because here the Durbe river has already completed its run and at Sakaslejas Church it confluences with the Tebra river. Exactly the confluence of rivers (E) is a good place for ending the trip, but the most powerful paddler can continue rowing along the Saka river to the sea.

 In the Saka River the landscape is changing. You can feel that the sea is close. Old pile berths, distillery chimneys, meshes and motorboats. Former railway bridge, elegant palace staircase what leads almost to the water in Upesmuiža park and then you are already in Pāvilosta. Paddling along the small fishing boats and a marina must be done for the rest of the trip, and mole ends and the sea are already there. Trip along the Durbe is over.
