Ideja par slepni radas pargajiena laika- ejot no Puikules lidz Valmierai nolemam atpusties pec 10 noietiem kilometriem. Šaja vieta agrak ir bijis šaursliežu dzelzcela tilts par Mazbriedes upi- koka dalas tiltam vel ir saglabajušas, tacu škersot upi par tiltu nav iespejams. Vairak par pašu pargajienu var uzzinat nospiežot uz saites lapas augšpuse, kur ir iespejams ari vairak uzzinat par pašu dzelzcela liniju.

It was spontaneous idea to put cache here as after 10 km walk during a hike Puikule- Valmiera we decided to have a little rest. This place is spectacular because here was narrow gauge railway bridge over river Mazbriede. Wooden parts are still good but it is not possible to cross the river over the bridge anymore. You can get more information about hike and narrow gauge railway on related web page but as it's only in Latvian I'll provide you with some fast facts:
Railway track was opened on 1912, closed on 1979. Width was 750 mm. used for passengers and freightage- logs, peat etc. If you are interested about narrow gauge railways and history of them in Latvia contact me.
