In Kadaga, you can choose from a swimming area on Lake Kadaga, trails in Ūdensrožu parks, a regional cycling route, and activities at Pērkonu ceplis focused on bread and creative arts. To help decide what to focus on during your stay, compare the routes: the yellow circular trail in the park is 2.4 km long, while the “Zaļais ceļš” is 13.5 km. Planning also differs: swimming information may vary by season, and individual visits to Pērkonu ceplis must be arranged in advance. This will help you decide whether outdoor exercise, time by the water, or a craft-focused visit should shape your plans.

Water and Park Landscape

There is a swimming area at Lake Kadaga. Swimming information may vary by season, so check the notices for your planned dates. This is distinct from Līņu ezers, in the central part of Ūdensrožu parks. It covers an area of 0.7 hectares, is gradually becoming overgrown, and its shores are becoming marshy. The park lies in an area of wooded coastal dune habitats characteristic of the Piejūras zemiene. For orientation, two natural features complement each other here: the central lake with its changing shores and the wooded coastal dune habitats typical of the surrounding area. This is equivalent to an area of 7,000 square metres.

On Foot or by Bicycle

The yellow circular trail in Ūdensrožu parks forms a loop and is 2.4 km long. At 13.5 km, the “Zaļais ceļš” is considerably longer; the one-way cycling route takes 1.5 to 2 hours. This lets you compare a park loop with a longer cycling route. In Ādažu novads, the “Zaļais ceļš” runs along the left bank of the Gauja from the Gauja Bridge near Kadaga to Carnikava. The “Zaļais ceļš” can be accessed at several points; you can choose a start and end point to suit your route and plan the section for your cycling trip. The time estimate refers to the one-way cycling route.

Bread, Crafts and an Ornamental Garden

At Pērkonu ceplis in Kadaga, activities include bread-making workshops, clay modelling courses and painting master classes. On a bread-making excursion, you can learn about the journey from raw ingredients to the finished loaf. The excursion focuses on the production process, while the courses cover bread-making and creative activities. You can choose your visit according to the subject that interests you. When planning your visit, distinguish between individual and group visits to the ornamental garden: individual visits must be arranged in advance; groups of any age can visit the garden, with no limit on the number of participants.
