    The Lielupe estuary in Latvia offers a fascinating, almost raw coastal landscape that gets its special charm from the mix of sand, pine trees and water. The "white dune" stretches along the coast and creates a natural barrier that separates the river delta from the sea. The landscape is constantly changing - storms and floods keep reshaping the coast, and the dune is a striking reminder of the power of nature.

    When walking along the beach, the peaceful atmosphere is striking, even though the weather can sometimes be rough. Especially in winter, when the sand is covered with a thin layer of snow, an almost mystical mood arises. The Lielupe estuary is not only a geological highlight, but also a retreat for many species of birds - a paradise for ornithologists. And if you look closely, you might discover a piece of driftwood that could tell stories of long journeys.

    Despite its beauty, strict rules must be observed here, as the signs on the dune make clear. The area is protected and activities such as camping, making fires and driving motorized vehicles are prohibited.
