Ālandes upes parka taka

The trail stretches along the circles of Ālande River through the town of Grobiņa.  There is a number of  information stands along the route, each telling of the history of Grobiņa. On the way you shall see the Grobina castle mound, the old town and the ancient burial grounds. Grobiņa, once called as Seeburg (Sea castle or Lake castle), is the first inhabited locality in Latvia recorded in written sources. It has been inhabited already in the Stone Age and later - at the beginning of the 1st century AD – Grobiņa becomes the center of the Ancient West-Balts tribe Curonians. Up to the 9th century Grobiņa had been a vast, city-like settlement of Curonians and Vikings, well known in the world of that time. The park and the trail is suitable for walking, cycling, and is accissible for parents with baby-strollers and for people in wheelchairs. You may also enjoy the Ālande River Park by boat.
