Congratulations! You have reached the page of trail race series’ "Roe buck 2020" second stage!
Did you really think that "Roe buck" ran out of all the gunpowder in the first stage "Zvārte rock Roe buck"? Really??
The patron of this stage is none other than the patriot of the Ērgļi county, visionary of the local less-known opportunities of recreation, the owner of Ērgļi station Māris Olte shares his wisdom: “At the crossroads, there is always a chance to start everything anew – and nothing is impossible! In Ērgļi you will seek hills that give joy (!!!) and a relief worthy of heart palpitations.” We ourselves thought long and hard of the meaning behind Māris’ words, but the answer will most likely be found only during the “Ērgļi railway station Roe buck” on September 12th!
The distance between the race centre and Ērgļi railway station is a mere few hundred metres, but on September 12th this will be the exact location of the grand “Tourism gathering”!

But what exactly is so special about Ērgļi? Well, Ērgļi is a populated place in Vidzeme and it also happens to be in the middle of Ērgļi municipality. River Ogre goes through this town as well. In our opinion, this is the “golden vein” of Latvian active tourism – here lay the Vestiene hills (Gaiziņkalns, Sirdskalns etc.), valleys of river Ogre and Vecpiebalga!

The trails in the heart of Vidzeme are still made with the tireless help of Artis Ločmelis (“VSK Burkānciems”)! An epic “thank you” for giving a helping hand goes to Māris and Inese Olte (Ērgļi station) for their warm welcomes and helping hands!
See you in Ērgļi! They say that Ērgļi give you wings – we’ll see about that!
