When planning a trip to Brocēni, you can focus on two different highlights: Mežaparks with the Brocēnu Gaisa takas, and Lake Ciecere with its walking trail, island, and seasonal activities. The park has two rope courses that differ in height and length; at the lake, there is a specific starting point at the beach, a boat trip featuring the captain’s stories, and a floating pizzeria. These experiences offer different options to consider when planning a trip to Brocēni.

Mežaparks and the Brocēnu Gaisa takas

Brocēni Mežaparks is accessible to pedestrians, cyclists, parents with strollers, and wheelchair users. The park has two rope courses operated by the Brocēnu Gaisa takas: the high course is 173 m long and runs at a height of 8 m. The low course measures 100 m and is intended for smaller children. The two courses therefore differ in both height and length; the high course is 73 m longer. The Brocēnu Gaisa takas are free of charge. Take seasonal operating conditions into account when planning, and check them before your visit.

Lake Ciecere, Ozolu sala, and the walking trail

Lake Ciecere covers 277 ha and lies within the territory of the city of Brocēni and Ciecere Parish. The lake contains Ozolu sala, a 14 ha island that is part of the Natura 2000 network and is a nature reserve. The lake and the island are therefore two distinct features of the natural landscape: the lake covers a larger area, while Ozolu sala is designated as a protected area. The walking trail along Lake Ciecere starts at the lake’s beach in Brocēni. If you want to include a walk by the lake in your plans, this beach is the specific starting point. The walk offers a different kind of experience from the rope courses in Mežaparks.

Seasonal experiences on the lake

A boat trip on Lake Ciecere includes the captain’s stories about the lake, Brocēni, and the history of both the lake and the town. The experience thus combines the trip with stories about the surrounding area and its past. Boat trips are seasonal; check in advance whether one is available on your travel dates. Terase Spāre offers a different experience: the floating pizzeria on Lake Ciecere serves wood-fired pizza. This business is also seasonal. The boat trip and the pizzeria therefore offer different experiences, but share an important planning consideration: take the season into account for both if you want to include them in your trip.

Planning your stay and hotel search

If you are looking for a hotel in Brocēni, start by deciding what you want to focus on during your trip. At Mežaparks, the different rope courses are the main attraction; at Lake Ciecere, you can choose between the walking trail, a narrated boat trip, and the floating pizzeria. Consider which of these activities you want to plan your travel dates around.
