The route itself

Things to consider
You might have to a buy a ticket for the open air museum, to be able to cross its territory. There are public toilets in the museums territory, roughly in the middle of the hike in a VIRŠI-A gas station, where you can water and some snacks, and in IKEA and the nearby shopping centre Sāga, where you can also get some food. You can buy tickets for the public transport busses in the Mobilly app
