How to get there by car:
- By car the way from Riga is 56 km. Leave Riga on the highway to Jelgava (road A8). Drive about 30 min. Turn right at the sign Ozolnieki (road P100). Pass Ozolnieki and drive into Jelgava. While driving this way, you will be soon able to see gas station Neste on your right side – you have to turn right at the gas station to Kalnciems (street name: Loka Maģistrāle), and drive about 2 km. When you reach a T-shaped crossroad, turn right again to Kalnciems (road P99) and drive on Kalnciema road.
- Leave the Jelgava city, cross the river Iecava. Pass the town Vitolini. After Vitolini you will be able to see the bus stop Zvejnieki. After the bus stop after 50 meters turn left onto a dirt road. Go straight 600 m until you reach the sign "No Entry" and a farm mailbox where it stays ´Zemīte´ on it, you have to turn right before the sign and drive 1 km 800 m till the end. On the left side along the road there will be river Lielupe, you have to pass the farm Šalkas and Zuši.
