Some of you may already know from my previous blog post that I visited Latvia as part of my university course. During the trip, I got to know of many incredible destinations in Latvia that are definitely worth visiting. In this blog post, I will describe my experiences of Latvia’s nature tourism destinations.
Exploring Latvia’s Valguma Barefoot Trail: Nature’s spa for your feet
The Valguma Barefoot Trail offers a unique and refreshing nature experience that’s not just for the eyes but for your feet as well. This intriguing trail invites you to kick off your shoes and immerse yourself in the therapeutic benefits of barefoot walking. The Valguma Barefoot Trail is not just a typical hiking path. It’s a carefully designed two-kilometer trail that travels through diverse natural landscapes, from soft moss to smooth pebbles, and pine needles to cool mud.
The Barefoot Trail was definitely one of the most enjoyable experiences during our trip to Latvia. The experience was fun and refreshing and my feet felt carefully massaged after the trail. Although the season for experiencing the barefoot trail is from early summer to early autumn, nature in Latvia was still beautiful at the beginning of October and the weather was still quite warm. If you want to know more about the Valguma Barefoot Trail or their other nature trails, you can read more about them at Latvia Travel.

We were also told about other popular nature tourism destinations such as Kemeri National Park which is one of the most popular nature tourism destinations in the Tukums region. Kemeri National Park is known for its diverse range of ecosystems. In Kemeri National Park guests are capable of exploring nature trails and go bird-watching. Another well-known nature tourism destination in the Tukums region is Lake Kanieris, a popular spot for swimming and boating. Unfortunately, we could not visit these destinations ourselves due to the limited time that we had in Latvia.
