Information from "Galda Hokejs Valmierā" about some leisure activities in Valmiera.
This video will feature some leisure activities in Valmiera.
This is Jānis Daliņš Stadium. There is a sports court for playing basketball or football near the stadium. There is a table tennis on the 3rd floor of the stadium, you can rent the table tennis rackets and balls from the stadium administration.
You can play beach volleyball or take a swim in the river Gauja at the Daliņi beach. It’s a 5-minute walk from the stadium. https://www.valmierasoc.lv/dalina-pludmale
I definitely recommend visiting “Sajūtu parks” (Park of Senses) - located right next to the stadium - and going through the trail in the trees including 4 ziplines over the river. https://www.sajutuparks.lv/en/trail-in-the-trees/
Do you want to rent a bicycle? Please! You can do so at shop “Eži” – located 30 minutes walk from the stadium. https://veikals.ezi.lv/public/lat/noma1/velo_noma/ If you have the time, I’d recommend cycling along the river Gauja to Sientiņiezis, located 15 km from Valmiera. https://visit.valmiera.lv/en/objekti/sietiniezis-2/
Sport and Active Recreation Park “Mežs” (Forest) is located right next to shop “Eži”. It’s popular among the youth because you can play streetball, use the fitness area or ride on the bicycle track. https://visit.valmiera.lv/en/objekti/sport-and-active-recreation-park-mezs/
If you are interested in the history of Valmiera, you’ll like the new exposition of the Valmiera museum “De Woldemer”. There you’ll also find the Valmiera Tourism Information Center, where it is possible to buy various Valmiera-related souvenirs. https://visit.valmiera.lv/en/objekti/de-woldemer-4/
You can enjoy peace and the presence of nature in Valmiera by just walking down the paths along the river Gauja or the promenade of “Dzirnavu ezeriņš”. I wish you all a pleasant stay in Valmiera!
