A Pentatomic view of a Kemeri Bog at Kemeri National Park
Home to rare plants, diverse wildlife, ancient pine stands, and shimmering bog lakes, Ķemeri National Park invites every explorer to experience Latvia’s largest raised bogs. Walking its wooden trails feels like stepping into untouched wilderness, where golden grasses and deep green mosses contrast beautifully with dark, mirror-like waters. The landscape is ever-changing with light and season, offering magical moments. Early morning mist rolling over the bog or fiery sunsets painting the sky is a true paradise for nature lovers and photographers alike.
Situated in Ķemeri National Park, about 40 km west of Riga, it is easily accessible by car, train (to Ķemeri), or bicycle. A wonderful experience not to miss when visiting Latvia.
The boardwalk was truly one of the most amazing and unique experiences we had. Stretching into the heart of the bog, the longer trail forms a 3.4 km loop that leads to a wooden viewing tower, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the vast landscape. For those seeking a lighter walk, there is also a shorter 1.4 km route, equally enchanting with its moss carpets, pine stands, and serene bog lakes. Both paths gave us a sense of untouched wilderness, making it an unforgettable experience for everyone.
