Pētertāle: Petertal Manor, Trails and ZIVE Ponds

Pētertāles muiža was a historic manor in the territory of what is now Irlava Municipality and was known as Petertal Manor. The name refers to Pētertāle’s historic manor heritage.

The centre of Pētertāles muiža in Irlava Municipality is listed as an object of architecture and history. The historic manor site and the centre of the muiža are two different points of reference: the first statement describes the history of the manor, while the second refers to the specifically classified centre.

In Tukuma novads, the Viesatas upesloki trail follows the banks of the Viesata River. In Pētertāle, there is a signpost to the Viesatas upesloki hiking trail.

The hiking trail is marked and can be walked without a guide. Its markings and the possibility of walking it without a guide say nothing about its length, difficulty or seasonal conditions. Therefore, when comparing different types of excursions, Viesatas upesloki represents a marked trail along the Viesata that can be walked independently.

The signpost in Pētertāle establishes the local connection to Viesatas upesloki. Those who choose this trail follow the Viesata and a marked route that can be walked without a guide. The “A trip to the start of the Abava River” route offers a different perspective. It passes through the area between Pētertāle and Kandava. Its point of reference is therefore the connection between two places, not the course of the trail along the Viesata’s banks.

At ZIVE’s location in Pētertāle, live and fresh fish weighing 1 kg or more are sold. ZIVE’s fishing facility for visitors is located at Vasaras dīķi in Pētertāle; sales and fishing are therefore two separate offerings.

Fishing and spin fishing are possible on some of the ZIVE ponds. The remaining bodies of water are not included by this statement. ZIVE’s ponds contain carp, pike, perch, tench and crucian carp. These fish species are part of the described stock of the ZIVE ponds and supplement the information about the recreational activity possible there.

For comparison with other destinations in the same catalogue section, you can also view Lamiņi, Tukums, Tume, Lapmežciems, Zentene, Slampe, Rideļi and Lancenieki.
