NATIONAL PARKS IN LATVIA (Latvian version)

This guidebook is meant to offer practical advice and information.  Please bring it along with you when travelling.  We have written the book for people who like to observe wild nature, learn about various cultural and historical monuments, or be active tourists who will visit national parks on foot, on a bicycle, by boat or on skis.  We have not forgotten about those of you who want to drive a car, either.  The guidebook offers information about the most important environmental, cultural and historical values of Latvia’s four national parks, also listing the most interesting tourist destinations.  Maps are included, and GPS co-ordinates are offered for the most interesting objects so as to make it easier for you to find your way around the parks.

Information can quickly become out of date, of course, so before you start off, make sure that you contact the local tourism information centre to find out the necessary information.  The author of the guidebook has visited all of the destinations that are listed here, and all of the routes have been examined in situ.

This guidebook is written under the project „Parks&Benefits” (No. 21), EU Interreg IVB Baltic Sea Region program, and promotes implementation of the European Charter for Sustainable tourism in protected areas www.european-charter.org.
