This time the trail race "Ogres Zilo kalnu Roebuck" will take its participants to the specially protected nature territory "Ogres Blue Hills". Most of the territory of the nature park is occupied by a very rare habitat in Latvia - coniferous forests on ridges (latv. – oss). Osi is a ridge of gravel and sand formed by melting glaciers, which is usually around 5-10 m high, with distinctly steep edges, and rises above the surrounding area. They are formed by sediments carried by the melting waters of the glacier. So – there will be both where to run and what to climb!
The name of the Blue Hills has most likely been derived from the typical coniferous forests, which have a bluish tinge looking from the tops of the ridge.
The autumn stage of the trail race series has been wholeheartedly supported by Ogre residents themselves – thanks to VisitOgre, especially to Dzirkstīte Žindiga and Armands Pivors, and, of course, to our tireless representatives of "Ogre Roebuck" community Agnese Pastare, Jānis Gailis and Robert Īvzāns!
See you in the Ogre Blue Hills!!!
