Viena no Daugavas ielejas dabas parka interesantākajām vietām ir Karikstes upe. Upes garums ir 10km, tā ir krāčaina, ar lielu kritumu, vietām tā tek pa 5 – 10m dziļu gravu. Karikste sākas netālu no Aizkraukles dzelceļa stacijas esošajā Tunķu purvā. No Aizkraukles stacijas līdz Vecaizkrauklei upes gultne ir regulēta, vēlāk līdz pat ietekai Daugavā tā tek pa izteiktu ieleju.
Kājām gājējam iepazīties ar Kariksti vislabāk veicot 300m garu pastaigu no bijušajām Šīrona dzirnavām līdz ietekai Daugavā. Šeit atrodas pussagruvis dzirnavu aizsprosts, kur izveidojies ap 2,5m augsts divpakāpju ūdenskritums.
Dodoties tālāk redzamas Livonijas ordeņa mūra pils drupas. Tās atrodas Karikstes ietekas Daugavā, kur savulaik atradās osta.
Taka piemērota kājāmgājējiem.

One of the most interesting places in the Daugava Valley Nature Park is the Karikste River. The length of the river is 10km, it is snoring, with a large drop, in some places it runs along a ravine 5 –10m deep. Karikste starts in tunķu marsh near Aizkraukle Railway Station. From Aizkraukle station to Vecaizkraukle the riverbed is regulated, later it runs through a pronounced valley up to the mouth of the Daugava River.
For a pedestrian to get acquainted with Karikste, the best walk of 300m from the former Sharon Mill to the mouth of the Daugava River. Here is located a semi-collapsed mill dam, where a two-stage waterfall about 2.5 m high has formed.
The ruins of the Livonian Order stone castle can be seen below. They are located in the mouth of Karikste in the Daugava River, where the port was once located.
The trail is suitable for pedestrians.
