Ķemeri National Park, National park in western Jūrmala, Latvia

Ķemeri National Park spreads across forests, wetlands, lakes, and coastal areas, featuring the extensive Great Ķemeri Bog wetland system. The terrain offers a mix of different habitats within a manageable area.

The area became a national park in 1997, following its 19th-century reputation for mineral springs and therapeutic muds that drew visitors to local spas. This earlier role as a healing destination shaped how the place is understood today.

The park preserves traditional Baltic coastal landscapes where local residents seasonally gather wild berries and mushrooms. These practices remain deeply connected to the region's way of life and shape how the area is used today.

The park is crisscrossed by many walking trails, including a wooden boardwalk through the bog and several cycling routes. The paths suit different fitness levels and are generally well-marked for navigation.

Natural sulfur springs emerge from underground gypsum layers, where specific bacteria create mineral waters with healing properties. This geological feature makes the area one of its kind globally.
