The Cenas tīrelis swamp On the way from Riga, a short stopover for a walk. The site is one of the largest areas of swampland in Latvia. Most of the area is still made up of peat. Relatively untouched is the northern part of the swamp, where there is a lovely set of swamp lakes, featuring landscapes of moss swamps. This is an important location for protected birds. |
