Salacgriva
Salacgrīva, nestled at
the mouth of the Salaca River, is a town synonymous with summer revelry. Every July, the Positivus
Festival transforms Salacgrīva into a vibrant music and culture hub, attracting thousands of
visitors.
Beyond the
festival, Salacgrīva offers a treasure trove of historical and natural wonders.
Explore the intriguing Munchhausen Landgut Dunte, delve into the past at
the Veczemju Klintis
(ancient sandstone cliffs), or marvel at the engineering marvel of the Lamprey Weirs. The Salacgrīva
Tourism Information Centre can be your one-stop shop for planning further adventures.
While shopping
options in Salacgrīva might be limited during non-festival times, a hidden gem awaits
– The Treasury. This unique
store offers a fascinating glimpse into the Soviet era, with a
collection of magazines, books, toys, and vintage electronics.
For a taste of
nightlife, time your visit to coincide with the Positivus Festival. Otherwise,
the town itself offers a tranquil atmosphere. If you crave a more vibrant
scene, the capital city of Riga awaits.
