Latvia Avoid whenever possible is called in Lithuanian "zvyras" or "zvyro danga" (translated to "gravel", but you should not mistake it with the nice gravel found for example in Scandinavia). This is a horrible mixture of sand and small hard bumps, unsuitable for cycling.

Often it is better to take "gruntinis kelias" (unimproved road) if asfalt is not available.

Low population density - not so many shops, drinking water sources etc.
