Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Snail Trails, GEO-ART in the area of Sabile and Abava valley! Why snail? Because Sabile has vineyard that is full of winesnails, also known as escargots. On top of that, winesnail is depicted in the coat of arms of Abava parish. And snail just looks good on the map! 🐌

Take your time, no rush, and enjoy geocaching!

 

This is challenge! The cache IS at the posted coordinates. To log your find, use the checker to prove that you qualify for the challenge. You are welcome to sign the logbook earlier, post a 'write note' log now and register as 'found it' any time later when challenge is completed.

Two challenges among others will be mostly relevant or easier for Latvian geocachers, but not exclusively!

“Kurzemīte, Dievzemīte,
Brīvas tautas auklētāj'.”

To celebrate our wonderful part of Latvia, West-coast, the only Latvian peninsula, home of ancient vikings and proud seamen – Kurzeme (Courland) – I challenge you to find at least 10 caches in each of 8 municipalities (counties) in Kurzeme.
This includes: cities of Liepāja and Ventspils, regions of Dienvidkurzeme, Kuldīga, Saldus, Talsi, Tukums and Ventspils.
