Latvia's wetland wilderness of bogs, sulfur springs, and lagoons
Ķemeri National Park
Ķemeri National Park is a protected area located in western Latvia, just west of the coastal city of Jūrmala. Established in 1997, it stands as the third-largest national park in Latvia, encompassing a diverse landscape of forests, mires, lakes, and coastal wetlands. The park is centered around the vast Great Ķemeri Bog, one of the largest raised bogs in the Baltic region, which forms the ecological heart of the reserve. Beyond its peatland landscapes, the park protects a network of lagoon-type lakes formed during the Littorina Sea period, extensive wetland systems, and the famous sulfur springs and therapeutic muds that have drawn visitors seeking healing for centuries. The combination of unique geological conditions, diverse habitats, and the legacy of spa tourism makes Ķemeri a distinctive protected area in Latvia's natural heritage.
