It's easy to get back to nature in Latvia

Latvia is one of Europe's greenest countries, with wilderness covering roughly half of the country. Latvia is an ideal hiking and camping destination, with 330 miles (530 kilometers) of woods bordering the Baltic coast. There are designated campsites throughout the country, but unlike many other places, wild camping is still permitted in Latvia, making getting back to nature here even more of an adventure.

The Great Kemeri Bog, one of Latvia's most picturesque landscapes, is a popular sunrise and sunset location for photographers all year. While coastal hiking is one of the best things to do in Latvia, the Great Kameri Bog in the Kameri National Park is a great day trip from Riga. Bogs are one of Latvia's most important natural resources, with many of them designated as EU-important protected areas. The wooden boardwalk is divided into two arcs. The shorter arc is a 0.93 mile (1.5 km) walk, and the longer arc is a 2.2 mile (3.7 km) walk with an observation platform that offers magnificent views of the bog from above.
