The national park was established to protect the 100 or so small islands that make up the archipelago of the local area. The largest island, the Vilsandi Island, is 6 km long and up to 2 km wide. You can rent a boat to get there, or, during appropriate conditions, you can walk across the sea and the small islands from the southern end of the Kuusnõmme peninsula.

The nature park near the town of Ogre is a popular place for leisure, hiking and, in the winter, cross-country skiing. Most of the park is covered with coniferous trees that are on a long and comparatively narrow line of hillocks with steep sides – another element of nature left behind in Latvia by the Ice Age. Many different plants can be found here. The Jaunogres castle hill is one of the most distinct hillocks in the area. |

The forest around Kaltene features a natural miracle – the rocks of Kaltene, which are also known as the barrier rocks. The rocks are 2-3 m from the sea and date back to the Ice Age. The Devil’s rock is the largest one. It used to be a beautiful pile of rocks that “stretched to the tops of the trees.” In older maps it is described as being 20 m high. It had many natural rocks, including some that were completely round, while others resembled plates. The rock was almost completely destroyed in the 1960s and 1970s, when it was chopped up to build roads. A fairly small part of the rock survives today, and it is 300 m long and 2 m high. Scientists believe that these rocks used to be sacred locations, because there are many legends and stories about them. There is a forest path with wooden pathways, information stands and a small car park there. (Source: Roja TIC) |

Klinšu smilšakmens ieži veidojušies, ūdens straumēm sanesot smilšainas, mālainas iežu daļiņas. Tās lēnām nogulsnējās un sablīvējās, topot par vareniem dabas veidojumiem! Līgatnes pagrabu alas savām rokām radījuši senie iedzīvotāji. Šī neparastā vieta ļāvusi daudzām paaudzēm izdzīvot, jo alās bija iespēja uzglabāt nepieciešamās pārtikas rezerves. Alām ir nemainīga temperatūra, kas padara tās par drošu pārtikas produktu un dzērienu glabātuvi. |

This is one of the greatest waterfalls in the Baltic States – 8 m high and up to 70 m wide. It is most impressive in the spring and after strong rains. The waterfall and its ~300 m canyon emerged from the limestone of the Ordovician Period. You may spot some fossils there. When the water is low, courageous people try to ford the river both above and below the waterfall. The limestone and the falling water have established a unique “tunnel” there.
