Getting to Darzini
Description
Darzini is the nearest station to Salaspils Concentration camp. Signage to the site is not good so you might want to take a copy of these instructions if you want to go!

Getting There
Trains run from the central station in Riga to Darzini taking about 15 minutes. The station is the first that is totally in the forest since leaving Riga. From the station cross over the tracks and behind the platform you should see a large sign frame that is empty pointing in the same direction that you have been going crossing the tracks. Go in this direction up the slope to the pathway between the trees and follow this back down to a junction with another path. Here there is a fraction of a sign that looks like it says memorial and points to the right. Follow this. Keep following this path until you come to what looks like a football pitch with goals. Carry on past the pitch, but take the left turning immediately past the pitch. Keep following this path until you emerge into the clearing where the memorial is.
