Aklais purvs, Nature reserve in Aizkraukle Municipality, Latvia
Aklais purvs extends across 2003 hectares, with peat bogs covering 502 hectares and containing two elevated domes rising 4 meters above surrounding terrain.
The peat bog formation began approximately 9000 years ago after the Ice Age, developing layers that reach maximum depths of 9.3 meters.
The reserve holds a memorial path leading to a site commemorating a 1944 battle between Red Army paratroopers and Wehrmacht soldiers.
A circular boardwalk nature trail guides visitors through the reserve, passing along the Girupe River and leading to Lake Girupe.
The territory contains six small lakes arranged in a chain formation in its western section, alongside the larger Lake Znotinu.
