Ķirbaksala

This is the place where two rivers - Mūsa and Mēmele meet - and Lielupe river begins. According to the legend, a man called The Great Murza took the magical water from this confluence, which he recommended to the ladies of Kurzeme to bathe in for beauty purposes. He even sold this “special” water in barrels to the ladies in cities like Jelgava and Riga. At the beginning of the island, there is an art object that symbolizes the beginning of Lielupe. The place before the Ķirbaksala bridge is a popular starting point for boating enthusiasts on the route "Bauska - Mežotne".
