This is a stretched-out territory from Valmiera to the Ape Administrative District, and its primary “axis” is the unregulated Gauja River valley with a dense web of old rivers, park-like meadows of oak trees on their banks, and stands of oaks and other broadleaf trees. Many rare and protected birds, including corn-crakes, woodpeckers, wood grouses and others live and breed here. This is also one of the most important places in Latvia in terms of where the deciduous tree hermit beetle lives.

The largest NATURA 2000 territory in Latvia covers 6% of the country’s area. It is located in parts of the Limbaži, Valmiera and Valka districts, and it is a place of an enormously diverse range of landscapes, biotopes and species. The Salaca River is one of the most important rivers in the entire Baltic Sea region in terms of spawning grounds for salmon. The river valley and its sandstone cliffs attract many visitors. It is no accident that this is the second most popular river in Vidzeme for water tourism. The shore of the Bay of Rīga, which is not very long, also features a great diversity in landscapes and biotopes. At the northern end, we find the Randu meadows. In the central part there are sandy beaches, but at the southern end – 22 kilometres of rocky shoreline. The so-called Northern swamps are found on the border with Estonia, while the Seda heath is one of the most important places in the region for birds to rest and feed during migration. The reserve also features a diverse forest in which one can find all of the types of forest which are common in Latvia. Nature trails and viewing towers or platforms are found in the Randu meadows, on the banks of Lake Burtnieks, along the Planči and Niedrāji-Pilka swamps, on the banks of Lake Dziļezers and Lake Lielezers, and elsewhere. The Skaņākalns park in Mazsalaca is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Northern Vidzeme. The territory boasts many important cultural monuments, including one of the earliest known settlements in Latvia – a fishing settlement and burial ground which date back to the 5th to the 2nd millennium BC.

The key treasure in this park is that it has a lake that is one of the most intensive sites for birdwatchers in all of Latvia. It also features outstanding flora and the shallow waters of the Bay of Rīga. Recommended: Hike along the seashore from Mērsrags to Engure (20 km). See wild domestic animals (horses and cows) on the eastern shore of Lake Engure. There’s a bird-watching tower on the NW shore of the lake (approach from Kūļciems, where you can see domestic animals adapted to life in the wild, including the Blue Cows of Latvia). A bird-watching tower can be found at a place called Jomiņa near Mērsrags, where the seashore meadow is an uncommon biotope

This is a large set of coastal meadows, ancient rivers and areas of reeds. It is found at a location where the Daugava River used to flow – between Vecmīlgrāvis and Vecāķi. There are inland dune meadows here, complete with the very rare silver grass. Vecdaugava is an important location for nesting birds and several uncommon plant species. On the southern end of the Vecdaugava peninsula, at a place called Skanstnieki, one can find remnants of medieval Swedish fortifications. The Vecdaugava Regional Research and Fishing Museum is here, as well.

Самый молодой национальный парк Латвии (2007 г.) находится в „Крае голубых озер” – в Латгальском крае. Одной из задач создания парка было сохранение самого полноводного Латвийского озера - Разнас, самого богатого островами озера – Эжезерс, и других водоемов, а также сохранение характерного для Латгалии холмистого пейзажа и культурно-исторической среды. В настоящее время одним из самых популярных объектов национального парка является Маконькалнс с прекрасным видом на озеро Разнас. В настоящее время в этом сравнительно молодом парке пока только планируется и производится его туристическое благоустройство - создание троп, маршрутов и т.д., поэтому желательно посещать уже законченные объекты. |

This territory is on both sides of the central section of the Raķupe River. On the banks of the river, there are many different meadow habitats, as well as massive oaks growing in the places of former farmsteads which are uninhabited by now. This is an important place for rare plants and animals. There is no tourism infrastructure for visitors in the area. Visitors who are especially interested in the environmental cognition are advised to visit the territory in attendance of experienced local guide. Raķupe is not usable for water tourism because of tilts of trees and beaver dams. |

Охраняемая морская территория Нида – Перконе является одной из биологически многообразных и важных с точки зрения охраны природы морских территорий на побережье открытой части Балтийского моря – здесь находятся выдающиеся территории рифов. В период миграции территорию пересекает большинство мигрирующих пород птиц, встречающихся в Латвии. Расположенная напротив Руцавского и Ницского края территория площадью 36 703 га особенно важна для защиты большого крохаля и малой чайки. Территория частично перекрывается морской частью природного парка «Папе» и включает морскую часть территории природного парка «Бернаты».

Слитерский национальный парк (как заповедник основан в 1923 г., как национальный парк 2000 г.) не без основания называют музеем под открытым небом предшествующей стадии развития Балтийского моря. Современными «живыми» свидетелями тех геологических событий являются Слитерские Голубые холмы - крутые, высотой до 20 – 30 м, образовавшиеся со времен Балтийского ледового озера (стадия Балтийского моря до 10 000 лет назад), холмы Стиебру – древний берег Анцилового озера (8 – 9 тысяч лет тому назад), наибольший в Европе по площади ландшафт валообразных дюн (кангари) и заболоченных междюновых впадин (виги), которые являются образованиями времен Литоринского озера (4 – 7 тысяч лет тому назад). Мягкий климат Северного Курземе служит причиной тому, что здесь наблюдается многообразие пород растений (около 860 пород) и встречается очень много редких для Латвии растений (напр., тис обыкновенный и плющ балтийский). Своего рода заслуга в сохранении здешних природных богатств принадлежит и советскому военному режиму, существовавшему когда-то на морском побережье, и из-за которого на протяжении полувека побережье оставалось почти нетронутым с точки зрения посещения и строительства. Свидетелями того времени остаются покинутые базы и разные военные объекты армии СССР. В Слитерском национальном парке находится один из популярнейших объектов туризма Латвии - Колкский мыс, который в течение года посещают более 50 000 путешествующих, а во время весенней миграции через мыс в течение часа проносятся десятки тысяч птиц. На участке берега Балтийского моря – т.е. на Либиешском берегу от Колки до Сикрага и Овиши сохранились рыбацкие поселки ливов (одна из малочисленных народностей мира) и прочие свидетельства их культуры. К услугам туристов четыре природных тропы, веломаршруты, наблюдательная вышка, открыт для посещения Шлитерский маяк.
