Slītere National Park

The park encompasses 265 square kilometers, including 101 square kilometers of marine territory, with forests, wetlands, dunes, and coastal landscapes.

The protected area originated as one of the oldest nature reserves in the Baltic States before its designation as a national park in 2000.

Traditional Livonian fishing villages such as Vaide, Saunags, and Pitrags preserve the heritage of the indigenous Livonian people within the park boundaries.

Visitors can explore multiple nature trails, including the Kolkasrags Pine path and Evazi trail, while observation towers provide views across the landscape.

Cape Kolka marks the meeting point of the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Riga, creating distinct water patterns and currents at their intersection.
