Lake Engure Nature Park, Nature reserve near Lake Engure, Latvia.
Lake Engure Nature Park is a large protected area in Latvia that brings together water, wetlands, forests, and meadows. These different landscapes join together to create a space where many animals can live.
The area gained protection in 1957 as a national park to preserve its valuable habitats. In 1998 it received official nature park status and joined a European-wide protection network.
The park takes its name from the lake around which local life has revolved for generations. People here weave their daily routines with the rhythms of nature, using the land in ways that have been practiced for a long time.
The park is best visited during warmer months when trails are dry and wildlife is active. Comfortable shoes and binoculars help you explore the nature at a relaxed pace.
The park is one of Europe's most important spots for certain bird species that return here year after year to breed. Some of these birds travel thousands of kilometers to arrive at this place.
