Kadaga: Nature, trails and creative experiences

• Ūdensrožu parks is located in an area of wooded coastal dune habitats characteristic of the Piejūras zemiene.
• The yellow circular trail in the park is 2.4 km long.
• The “Zaļais ceļ” is 13.5 km long; a one-way bike ride takes 1.5 to 2 hours.

Līņu ezers lies in the central part of Ūdensrožu parks. It covers 0.7 hectares; at the same time, the lake is gradually becoming overgrown and its shores are turning into marshland. Two distinct aspects of nature come together here: a habitat type characteristic of the Piejūras zemiene and a body of water whose shores are changing. The area measurement provides a sense of scale, while the gradual overgrowth and marsh formation describe the changes taking place around the lake.

Visitors who like to get a closer understanding of landscapes will find more here than just the name of a body of water: the wooded coastal dune habitats give the natural area its distinctive character, while Līņu ezers provides a specific example of a changing shoreline.

The yellow circular trail in Ūdensrožu parks is 2.4 km long. At 13.5 km, the “Zaļais ceļ” is considerably longer and is described as a cycling route. The two routes therefore differ in length, mode of travel and format: a loop in the park versus a regional ride.

In Ādažu novads, the “Zaļais ceļ” runs from the bridge over the Gauja near Kadaga, along the river’s left bank, to Carnikava. A one-way bike ride takes 1.5 to 2 hours. You can access the route at several points and choose a start and end point that fit your own itinerary. This lets you plan the ride around your preferred start and destination rather than treating it as one fixed loop.

At Pērkonu ceplis in Kadaga, offerings include bread-making workshops, clay-modelling classes and painting masterclasses. A bread-making excursion introduces visitors to the process from raw ingredients to the finished loaf. The workshop and excursion offer different experiences: the workshop focuses on making bread, while the excursion follows the process through to the finished loaf. Clay modelling and painting add creative activities to these offerings.

The ornamental garden is also part of the visitor experience. Groups of any age can visit, with no limit on the number of participants. Individual visits require prior arrangement. These distinctions can help you choose the format you want: a class, an excursion or a group visit to the garden.

There is a swimming area at Kadaga Lake; swimming information may vary depending on the season. If swimming is important to your trip, take this seasonal factor into account when planning your dates. Individual visits to Pērkonu ceplis require prior arrangement; check current arrangements directly with the venue.
