Mežaparks, one of Riga's oldest garden city districts, is a sprawling and diverse park on the shores of Lake Ķīšezers. Originally known as the Emperor's Park, the area became an exclusive residential area in the early 20th century for Riga's wealthier society seeking to escape the city's noise. Today, the well-preserved Art Nouveau villas still exude this nostalgic charm and are among the city's most sought-after properties. The park offers much more than just architecture. For nature lovers, Mežaparks is a paradise: miles of walking paths, quiet forest trails and the opportunity to practice water sports on Lake Ķīšezers. The impressive amphitheater, designed for the famous Latvian Song Festival, exudes the special energy of this place. The surrounding recreational facilities, such as playgrounds, cafes and bicycle rental, make the park particularly diverse. In addition to the zoo, there are also hidden corners that invite you to explore, and the famous "Mežakaķis" climbing park provides variety. Mežaparks is a place that invites you to linger and explore, not only because of its history, but also because of its lively and at the same time relaxing atmosphere that attracts both locals and visitors. A visit is particularly worthwhile for a leisurely day trip or active recreation in the countryside.

Lake Skaista is located in the Cenas-Tīrelis bog area, one of the largest raised bogs in Latvia and an important nature reserve. The lake and the surrounding bog offer an almost mystical atmosphere, especially in calm weather, when the clouds are reflected in the water's surface and the bare, partly twisted tree skeletons watch over the land like silent sentinels. The remote location and the untouched nature invite you to a moment of inner peace, far from the hustle and bustle of the city. Here you will also find an interesting biodiversity, which makes Lake Skaista a popular place for birdwatchers. The lake is home to rare birds such as the whooper swans and the crane, which migrate through in spring and autumn. There are also informative boards pointing out the ecological importance of the area and drawing attention to the fragile balance of the bog. The visit is facilitated by wooden walkways that lead you safely through the marshy areas and give you the opportunity to go deep into the moor without disturbing nature. The area also has historical traces dating back to the First World War, when it was used as a strategic area. Today, however, there is little to remind us of that time - silence and nature have reclaimed the terrain and restored it to its original beauty.

The birdwatching tower at Slokas Lake in Ķemeri National Park is a seven-meter-high platform on pontoons, accessible via a wooden walkway. From here, you can enjoy a wide view over the entire lake, all the way to the north side, which is often particularly rich in birds. The tower offers optimal conditions for birdwatching all year round, as parts of the lake remain ice-free in winter, thus attracting many waterfowl. There is also a sulphur spring nearby, adding a touch of natural history to the experience and hinting at the park's healing mineral springs. The surrounding nature offers wet forests, swamps and small lakes, which can be reached via the 3.1-kilometer Slokas Nature Trail Loop. The trail is partly stabilized by boardwalks, especially in the marshy areas, and is ideal for nature lovers who want to explore the diverse flora and fauna. The tower and trail offer a mix of tranquil nature and fascinating observation opportunities that will immerse you deep into the Latvian landscape.

Area of water surface – 10.3 ha Mean depth – 1.4 meter Maximum depth – 2.0 meter Translation of the name "Melnezers" means Black Lake. The surrounding Raganu Bog (Witches' Bog) influences the water qualities of the lake. Humic substances coming from the bog give the water its dark brown colour. Swimming in the lake is not advised.

If most of the world's Sulphur Springs are formed in volcanically active places, Latvian Sulphur Springs are unusual in that they are formed in areas where peat contacts with gypsum rocks. Under the Quaternary peat deposits (Holocene epoch) lie Late Devonian gypsum rocks (Salaspils suite) which are washed by groundwater. Sulfate-reducing bacteria which emit hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in their process of life live in these conditions. The hydrogen sulfide oxidized in the water and sulphur precipitates at the bottom of the sulphur spring.
