The main goal of the project is to gather all of Latvia’s cycling routes and “Greenways” (former railway lines suitable for cyclists and pedestrians) that are marked according to a unified numbering system, in a user-friendly map for cyclists, tourists, and other outdoor enthusiasts.
The comprehensive map will include the most interesting sights, cultural and historical heritage sites, culinary tourism attractions, as well as accommodations located on or near the marked routes. The project funding provides invaluable support for producing a convenient and easy-to-use route map, sharing map information online, and conducting an extensive marketing campaign to promote the routes in the tourism markets of the Baltic countries and Europe.
Vidzeme Tourism Association (VTA) has been working for several years to promote the development of cycling routes in Latvia, assigning numbered markings to the cycling routes in Latvia. VTA is also a member of the European Greenways Association and implements projects for the construction and development of greenways in Latvia and Estonia.
Printed cycling maps are available at tourism information centres.
