Why go
The memorial’s stone fields and forest setting confront visitors with the scale of wartime killing while keeping individual lives in view. It is separate from the Riga Ghetto Museum and Rumbula, each of which tells a different part of this history. Go with time for quiet reflection and use the operator’s route point for navigation.
What to look for
- Memorial stones mark this Holocaust remembrance site.
- Forest paths lead through the area of marked mass graves.
Useful to know
- Use the Volksbund route point; it is an approximate approach to the memorial, not a verified entrance.
- Plan the forest visit in daylight and allow time for the trip from central Riga.
