Ozoldangas - Ciesengure

Ozoldangas - Ciesengure
15.2 km 8 hours
Description Places Boat rental Pay attention!

The paddling route is 15.2 km long. After the first scenic 3.5 kilometres, Ugāle Mill comes into view. The most convenient place to land is on the left bank of the millpond near the bridge, carry the boats across the bridge, and re-enter the Engure River from the right bank. The mill complex is well worth walking around to admire the craftsmanship of its builders. Although the buildings are currently in poor condition, they have retained their charm.

Beyond the mill, the river winds through deciduous forest, with occasional houses along the banks. After 3.6 km, the Engure flows beneath the Riga–Ventspils highway bridge and then continues across a wide marshy meadow. At the railway bridge, the first 10.2 km will have been completed. Just beyond it lies an unpleasant obstacle: communication cables hidden inside a metal pipe stretch across the river and may block the way during high water levels.

About 800 metres further, another concrete bridge crosses the river, offering a good rest and campfire spot. Farms continue along the banks, followed by a small allotment garden area. After that, the river once again flows through untouched nature, with large trees arching over the water and banks thick with valerian and meadowsweet. The trip ends at Ciesengure Bridge.
