The most beautiful natural sites to discover Vidzeme

Teiču Nature Reserve (190 km2) is the largest swamp in the Baltic States. Krustkalni Nature Reserve (30 km2) is a plant paradise. In order to preserve its unique and very fragile ecosystem, both reserves can be visited with guides. In this case, do not hesitate to ask the tourist office for the contact details of the guides. There are also paths that can be used for walks if you wish to visit on your own.

The 9-hectare park lies in the middle of the Ligatne forest and offers guided tours on forest trails, a wooden amusement park for children, picnic sites and a souvenir store selling wooden and knitted souvenirs made by local craftsmen. Favoring wood craftsmanship, you'll find scattered wooden sculptures, experimental organic dwellings and models of Latvian estates and castles in this unusual park.
