Ķemeri National Park

Raised bogs, boardwalks and sulphur springs west of Jūrmala in Latvia

The Great Ķemeri Bog (Lielais Ķemeru tīrelis) is the park's centrepiece, where boardwalks cross fens, transition and raised bogs. Natural sulphur springs and healing muds also shaped the 19th-century spa resorts here.
