In Iecava and its surrounding area, a weekend can become a thrilling adventure – where history, creativity, artisan and home-produced crafts, and nature intertwine into one unified story!
At the Iecava Manor complex, you can step back in time by wandering through a green labyrinth, discovering the historical manor buildings, and exploring the landscaped park and its unique gatekeeper lodges.
A walk along the Iecava Painting Trail will reveal the talents of local artists – colourful brushstrokes depict scenes from Iecava Town. For nature lovers, the Dievdārziņš Nature Trail is especially enchanting – this ancient sacred site offers stunning views of the River Iecava and dolomite outcrops. The Iecava Lutheran Church located on the opposite bank is visible from afar, and the city panorama can be seen from its tower – go there and take the opportunity to enjoy the view of the town from above!
Outdoor activity enthusiasts can test their skills at the disc golf course “Mežavoti”, try airsoft, or enjoy horseback riding through the picturesque Iecava surroundings. For families and thrill-seekers, over 20 exhilarating activities await at the “Labirinti” Amusement Park, or explore Iecava from a new perspective by cycling the “Discover Iecava” route.
Animal lovers can visit the mini-zoo “Dobuļi” offering close encounters with both exotic and native animals – from wild deer and tropical birds to Latvia’s national breeds. For those seeking creative experiences, visit the “Vīnkalna Ceplis” pottery studio, where you can take part in workshops on ceramics, textile appliqué, beaded jewellery, and embroidery. Finish your visit with a relaxing treat at the “Rāmriti” farm, tasting their signature honey soufflés and enjoying bee house SPA therapies.
To enrich your trip around the Iecava area, we recommend visiting in July when the Iecava Festival takes place, as well as in August when everyone is invited to the summer season closing concert.
