Taka uz Lielbātas avotu

A bit further on along the road, just over a kilometer from Volzbahs’ hill, there is the spring of Lielbata that will surprise everyone with its unusual clarity - it is the largest natural clear spring in Latvia and one of the few in northern Europe that produces biologically active and properly structured water from the bowels of the earth. For centuries, it has been attributed with it’s healing properties. Historical sources tell  that a sanatorium was created here in 1923 at the Lielbata Castle due to the naturally pure and healing environment in this area that lasts up to this day. The water temperature of Lielbara spring is 6 degrees celsius all year through, therefore in winter, at a heavy frost, the steam is rising up from the spring. As time went by, the source of water flow has became even stronger and with amazing power continues to supply us with its unique natural gift - pure and biologically active water. The car can be left at the start of the trail near the Lielbata Castle. The walk to the spring and back will take 1,2 km. There is also a nice resting area at the spring.
