The Pedestrian Bridge Mitava in Jelgava is really a nice place to visit. It connects the city center with the Pasta Island on Lielupe river The Island itself has been lately developed as a place for recreation for the citizens and guests of Jelgava - it hosts the famous Ice and Sand Sculptures' Festivals. The modern lines of the Bridge along with the well developed embankment and the Island give a nice touch to the city's image. The place is worth visiting when in Jelgava especially in summer. Next to the Bridge on the Island there is a nice cafeteria with excellent cakes, but at the other end an interesting sculpture of the Poor Student as there is the University of Agriculture in Jelgava.
