Description
Do you want an interesting and unforgettable adventure? Take your friends or family and join us on a trip in the river Bērze from Dobele to Miltiņi!
The Bērze River, in its 109-kilometer-long course, displays its diverse nature – at one point it is calm and serene, as a typical river in Zemgale should be, and then suddenly, as if awakened, it begins to meander with loops and picturesque bends.
We will take the most exciting part of the river Bērze!
The journey will begin at the Dobele Hydroelectric Power Plant dam, located opposite the “Chemical Plant Spodrība,” and will end at Miltiņi, by Miltiņkrogs, where you can replenish after the trip.
The first kilometers of the river will be calmer, but then it becomes swifter as it winds through Ķestermežs – there, the riverbanks are unusually steep in some places. Further on, we will reach Parūķi Mill – nowadays, only the ruins of the mill walls on the left bank of the Bērze and the collapsed dam remain. If the water level will be high enough, we’ll experience some more extreme sensations as we navigate through the ruins of the collapsed dam. After that, the river with its moderate stream will lead us all the way to Miltiņi.
The journey definitely promises not to be boring – the route may include fallen trees that can be navigated around with the boat or bypassed along the shore.
