Route 552: Lake Valgums Bike Trails

A collection of 3 cycling routes.

Overview

About this collection

A chilled set of bike trails around Lake Valgums near Tukums, Latvia. Expect a mix of forest tracks and paths with quiet back roads, plus a few short busy links. Surfaces are mostly unpaved—gravel and dirt with some sandy or rooty bits—alongside a little asphalt. Best on a gravel bike or MTB; hybrids work if you take it easy.

These segments link well into short loops for a relaxed ride with lakeside views and pine forest vibes. After rain, sections get muddy. Summer is great for a swim stop.

Easy access from Valguma Pasaule (Barefoot Trail area) or via Smārde/Tukums by train + short ride. Signage varies, so bring a GPS. Traffic is generally light, but use lights where you hit busier stretches. Services are limited in the woods—pack water and snacks and resupply in Smārde or Tukums.
