#3 ORIENTATION IN SALACGRIVA

Do you still remember the boring excursions from your childhood - rushing from one point of interest to the other, getting lost among the year numbers and not really being there? Well, we do remember! Keeping that in mind, we have created an orienteering route - a walk through Salacgriva - that will not only let you see the most interesting objects of the town, but ask you to be witty while finding answers to the questions in each of these places.

#5 Walking to Estonia

Border cities have a special charm. The feeling behind it - knowing that it takes one more step to find yourelfe in a different country.

During the Soviet period, locals from Ainaži crossed the border regularly - they were heading 10 m into Estonia to the shop of Ikla to buy... Sugar! Yes, as it turns out, it was considerably cheaper there! Today, such trip "abroad" can be performed by you, but you do not have to buy sugar - why not replace it with ice cream?
