Ādaži Municipality invites you to discover the area’s nature, cultural and historical sites, and tourism opportunities with accessibility in mind. People with mobility impairments can also enjoy walks in nature, relax by the water, and explore local tourist attractions.

To provide greater accessibility, Ādaži Municipality is developing accessible tourism infrastructure and offering specially adapted solutions for people with mobility impairments.

Hiking Wheelchair and Wheelchair Transport Bicycle

Special equipment is available for people with mobility difficulties and their companions, making it possible to enjoy nature and outdoor activities.

The Joëlette Finisher hiking wheelchair is designed for hiking on forest trails, including areas within the Piejūra Nature Park. The wheelchair has one large, movable front wheel that helps it navigate uneven trails, roots, and sand. It is designed to be used with the assistance of a companion or assistant and is not intended for independent use.

The Van Raam Velo Plus wheelchair transport bicycle provides an opportunity for wheelchair users to enjoy a cycling trip together on smoother roads. The wheelchair, together with the user, can be placed on the bicycle’s front platform, eliminating the need to transfer the person from their wheelchair. The bicycle is operated by an assistant.

Both mobility devices are available free of charge with advance reservation at the Carnikava Local History Centre.

Ādaži Municipality offers a variety of natural and tourism destinations, including the Gauja River estuary and surrounding area, the Carnikava promenade, coastal areas, beaches, recreational sites, and cultural and historical attractions.

Before setting out, we recommend checking the surface, terrain, and available infrastructure of the specific route. Accessibility can vary between locations, so people with mobility impairments are advised to check the latest information about the destination in advance.

Developing Accessibility in Ādaži Municipality

Ādaži Municipality continues to improve the accessibility of tourism infrastructure. Solutions are being explored to make it easier for people with functional impairments to access the water, use recreational areas, and enjoy the municipality’s natural attractions.

For example, accessibility improvements to water tourism infrastructure in Carnikava are planned, including around Laivu Street 2 and Jomas Street 7. The planned solutions aim to provide easier access to piers and safer boarding of boats.

When planning your visit, we recommend checking the accessibility of the specific destination and route in advance.
