Get off the couch, let’s go hiking: with EU funds, older Riga residents will be guided around the city for 5 hours

The Riga Municipality Welfare Department, together with the society "Want to Be" / "WANT TO BE", invites residents to participate in free health-supporting hikes for those aged 55 and older.

These activities are designed to promote psycho-emotional health, socialization, and the acquisition of new health-enhancing skills for this age group. The next hiking date is April 29. Duration - from 10 AM to 3 PM.

What’s on the program:

– a hike from Victory Park, where the monument to the liberators of Riga used to stand, to the Theatre Museum with a guide;

– a visit to the Cherry Orchard (Sakura Garden);

– a lesson with a sports specialist;

– a workshop and tasting of a healthy dish preparation.

Meeting point: Public transport stop "Victory Park" opposite the gas station "Virši", Victory Boulevard, 16, Riga, at 10:00 AM.

Since the number of places is limited, prior registration is required.

Applications can be submitted on the portal veseligsridzinieks.lv in the section "Health-promoting hikes for residents aged 55 and older in April" / "Veselību veicinoši pārgājieni iedzīvotājiem no 55 gadiem aprīlī". (There is an application form available).
