Liepene – Coastal Trails and Jūrtaka

• The 11th stage of the Jūrtaka runs through Staldzene, Liepene, Jaunupe, and Oviši.
• For the Staldzene–Liepene section, small forest paths running parallel to the seashore are recommended in winter, spring, and autumn.
• The T‑V1332 road, “Pievedceļš Liepenei,” was upgraded over a length of 1,688.77 meters from a gravel road to a road with double surface treatment.
• The “Liepene” campsite covers a well-maintained 5-hectare area directly on the seashore.

The 11th Jūrtaka stage connects several places and leads along different shoreline sections. Sandy and pebbly areas are mentioned; on cliffs, eroded clay occurs. Behind Liepene, the shoreline gradually becomes lower.

At the Jaunupe River, vegetation can grow densely during periods of low water. If you include Liepene in a longer coastal hike, it is therefore worth considering the specific section between Staldzene, Liepene, Jaunupe, and Oviši separately. The stage is characterized not only by the shoreline but also by the river area, forest paths, and changing shorelines.

For the Staldzene–Liepene section, small forest paths running parallel to the seashore are recommended in winter, spring, and autumn. This recommendation is particularly relevant to your planning if you are traveling during one of these seasons. It describes the intended route choice for the specified section, but says nothing about an additional summer route or the duration of the hike.

The T‑V1332 road, “Pievedceļš Liepenei,” is a local reference point. The 1,688.77-meter section was upgraded from a gravel road to a road with double surface treatment. As part of this work, a shelter for a bus stop was also installed.

The “Liepene” campsite is a spacious recreation complex directly on the seashore and covers a well-maintained 5-hectare area. The “Vējciems” recreation complex is located in a pine forest on the Baltic Sea coast. The “Jēņi” campsite has a sauna and a party room for 16 people; its services are available from May 1 to October 31.

The middle- and long-distance competitions of the “Kurzemes Pavasaris” orienteering event took place in Liepene. In addition, the traditional “Kurzemes Pavasaris” orienteering event was scheduled to take place in Liepene. For a specific date, the “OKZK 2026” orienteering event is relevant: it is scheduled for September 17, 2026, at 16:00 in Liepene. If you are planning your trip around this date, you should consider the event date separately from the general Jūrtaka information.
