Pape Nature Reserve, Nature park in Kurzeme region, Latvia

The natural area spans 5700 hectares of bogs, carr forests, and dunes around Lake Pape along the shore of the Baltic Sea.

The reserve received its protected status in 1977, leading to substantial conservation efforts for local wildlife and the introduction of large herbivores.

The villages of Pape and Koņu within the park boundaries maintain traditional fishing homesteads that represent regional maritime heritage.

Visitors need to contact park ranger Ints Mednis three days before arrival to arrange access to the natural areas and herbivore pastures.

The reserve features a 9-kilometer Natural Process Path that passes through five distinct ecosystems: lake, meadow, forest, marsh, and dune.

GPS coordinates: 56.20000,21.05000
