Bažu purva rezervāts
The largest swamp of the Slīteres National Park, covering 1,880 ha. The bog is not as impressive as the Great Ķemeri Moorland, but worth while you are there. A satellite image provides a good map of potential trails, many of which are artificial tracks running through the swamp in horizontal and vertical direction.
Šlīteres bāka
Located near the Šlītere Blue Mountains, 5.3 km from the coast. The 5th floor of the lighthouse is 100 m above sea level with a magnificent view of the Slitea National Park and the Baltic Sea.
Līvu tautas nams
It is expected that there should be something like a museum here, telling the history and culture of the Livs, and thematic cultural events should also take place. However, as of 2018, the building was closed for renovations. In any case, it is interesting in its own right, as it was built in 1939 according to the design of the Finnish architect Erkki Huttunen and represents a remarkable example of Finnish functionalism.
The only Livonian folk house in the world, Livonian culture, exhibitions, collection of household objects, celebration of Livonian holidays.
Pizzeria in Mazirbe.
Skatu tornis
20 m in height. Space for 4–6 mattresses. Very windy on the top level, which could spoil the shelter functionality.
Space for 3–6 mattresses. At the road, which can be loud in the morning.
If you are driving from Riga directly to the park, then you need to go through Tukums and further along the P131 road to Kolka. The road goes along the coast of the Gulf of Riga.
