Insights
“Green Way” is an approximately 13.5 km cycling route that follows the protective embankment along the left bank of the Gauja River, from Ādaži to Carnikava Beach, offering peaceful natural scenery and an opportunity to enjoy outdoor activities in the fresh air. The route is suitable for both nature and cycling enthusiasts and families with children, providing a relaxed way to explore the surroundings of Ādaži and Carnikava.
Approximately 85% of the route runs on gravel roads, while 15% follows a paved surface, so an off-road bicycle is recommended for a more comfortable ride.
The approximately 13.5 km one-way route can be completed in 1–1.5 hours, starting near the Kadaga Bridge and finishing at Carnikava Beach or Laivu Street.
During the journey, you can stop for a picnic at the end of Atpūtas Street in Carnikava. On weekends, extra caution is advised on the promenade, as it can be busy. The “Green Way” is a great opportunity for a short cycling trip outside the city, combining physical activity, enjoying nature, and reaching the Carnikava coastline in one route.
