Description of the trail:
One of the most popular swamp trails in Latvia offering a fabulous walk through one of the greatest raised bogs in Latvia. Visitors may notice the carnivorous plant – sundew, as well as variety of birds – wood sandpipers, white wagtails, tree pipits. The bog has been designated as internationally important Bird Area. The key feature distinguishing the Great Ķemeri Bog and other raised bogs in Ķemeri surroundings and making them unique on European level is the sulphurous mineral waters, which are forming deep underneath the surface of the bogs and bursting out on the surface in more than 30 open springs in the vicinity of Ķemeri.
The boardwalk has 2 loops – the small one of 1,5 km and the long one of 3,5 km, the latter also includes a sightseeing platform. The overall hiking time is around 1,5 hours. Available throughout the year, though the most beautiful scenery in the bog is in spring and autumn, and especially, in early morning watching the sunrise.
