Detailed itinerary

At Ķemeri Bog Trail, you’ll take a peaceful walk along a raised wooden boardwalk through one of Latvia’s most unique natural landscapes. Surrounded by mosses, dwarf pines, and crystal-clear bog pools, you’ll experience the quiet beauty of this ancient wetland. Your guide will share insights into the bog’s ecology, rare plant species, and the myths that linger in the misty air. The trail is flat and easy, offering stunning views and perfect photo opportunities. After the walk, you’ll enjoy a relaxing picnic in nature, featuring seasonal local produce—fresh rye bread, smoked cheese, herbal tea, and other regional delights sourced from nearby farms. It’s a moment to pause, breathe, and connect with Latvia’s wild side in the most delicious way.

In Kuldīga, you’ll step into one of Latvia’s most charming and historic towns. Wander through cobbled streets lined with red-tiled roofs and centuries-old buildings full of character. Your guide will lead you through hidden courtyards, across charming bridges, and into stories that bring the town’s past to life. The highlight is Ventas Rumba — the widest natural waterfall in Europe — where you can watch the river cascade over ancient rock ledges in a peaceful, picturesque setting. Depending on the season, you might even spot fish leaping upstream! Enjoy time to explore local shops, grab a coffee, or simply soak in the laid-back atmosphere. Kuldīga’s blend of natural beauty and timeless architecture makes it feel like a step back in time — one you’ll never forget.
