Ezertaka

"Ezertaka" is a 2.8 km long walking trail that leads around the peninsula of Lake Alūksne.

From this trail, the most beautiful coastal landscapes and two islands of Alūksne Lake, surrounded by legends and stories, open to the pedestrian - Cepurīte and Garā sala, as well as the largest island of the lake - Pilssala. The trail is located very close to the city center, but allows you to enjoy the uniqueness and tranquility of nature, as it leads along a steep shore of the lake through forested ravines and over hills. Walking along this trail is especially recommended for lovers of terrain, beautiful nature and untouched views of human hands. Also, we recommend combining a walk with a tour of Pilssala, thus extending the route by another kilometer.

The trail is circular, accessible in both directions and the starting point can be both a parking lot at the Tempļakalna Street pedestrian bridge (coordinates indicated here) and a parking lot at the swimming place “Melnums”. It is not suitable for walking in bad weather.
