Ķemeri National Park, National park in western Jūrmala, Latvia
The park spans 381 square kilometers of forests, wetlands, lakes, and coastal areas, featuring the extensive Great Ķemeri Bog wetland system.
Established in 1997, the area gained recognition in the 19th century when mineral springs and therapeutic muds attracted health seekers to local spas.
The park maintains traditional Baltic coastal landscapes where local residents collect wild berries and mushrooms according to seasonal patterns.
Visitors can access numerous walking trails, including a 3.4-kilometer wooden boardwalk through the bog and multiple cycling routes throughout the park.
Natural sulfur springs emerge from underground gypsum layers, where specific bacteria create mineral waters with medicinal properties.

Latvia offers a diverse range of sites combining medieval history and Baltic nature. The country brings together different periods and landscapes: the Old Town of Riga with its Art Nouveau buildings, the castle of Cēsis, the beaches of Jūrmala and the extensive forests of Gauja National Park. Latvian cities preserve evidence of German, Swedish and Russian rule. Beyond the capital Riga, places like Liepāja with its military port or Kuldīga with its waterfall invite exploration. The coastal region extends for several hundred kilometres along the Baltic Sea. The natural landscapes include extensive forests, wetlands and lakes. Gauja National Park protects river valleys with sandstone cliffs and historic castle ruins. Rural areas display traditional wooden architecture and agricultural structures that have shaped life in the Baltic regions for centuries.
