During the hike, participants will have the opportunity to chat with graduates of the Kolka ← Dubulti hike, ask questions to the organizing team, and listen to valuable advice. We recommend going on the training hike with the gear you plan to use in September (shoes, clothing, trekking poles, etc.), as well as a backpack weighing no less than 10kg, in order to simulate the conditions of the real hike as closely as possible.
