This is one of the largest areas of swampland in Latvia, lying between Lake Babīte and Olaine. 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. The heath is one of the few swamps in Latvia where the western-type and eastern-type swamp coexist. This is an important location for protected birds. A nature trail and viewing tower are to be installed at the heath in the near future.

Heath trail is an outstanding trail of wooden pathways that pass through the typical biotopes of the heath – high, transitional and low swamps, swampy forests, etc. The viewing tower at the centre of the trail is alongside the remnants of a military road from World War I. The circular path is approximately 5 km long.
