On the coast of the River Venta there is the Skrunda castle mound, which is a popular leisure spot among locals and tourists. There is an open-air stage and it is surrounded by a park where one can also see the wooden chairs of Curonian kings designed by the sculptor Ģ. Burvis. There is a number of legends on the Skrunda castle mound – on underground passages, the white woman “Ventas Vārava” that comes out once in 100 years. The walking trail stretches along the Skrunda castle mound and the river and allows to enjoy the beautiful nature sights, watch the birds and the calm flow of the River Venta. There is a number of benches along the trail, a resting area and several stops created to view the scenic Kurzeme landscape. A barefoot path has also been installed nearby. The trail also serves as the starting and closing point for boating.
