Itinerary description
Lake Engure is the third largest lake in Latvia. There are 187 bird species nesting at the park territory. Lake surroundings is one of the floristically richest territories in Latvia – it stands out with a high diversity of species and naturalness. Overall, there are about 800 plant species in the park. There are animal fodders, a bird watching tower and the Orchid trail available for visitors. The Orchid trail is accessible the whole year through, though most advisable in June, during the orchid blossoming period, as of all 32 orchid species existing in Latvia, more than 22 orchid species are to be found here. Combine the Orchid trail with visiting the bird watching tower, which opens a view to the specific landscape of Lake Engure with its reed and water fields, as well as the pasture of wild horses and cows that have been present here since 2002 and now are to be met at the floodplain meadows of the lake.
