The Melnalkšņu Swamp Boardwalk

Located near the Ķemeru National Park Visitor Center, the trail introduces visitors to one of the park's characteristic habitats: the wet forests. The 0.6-kilometer boardwalk trail is elevated on wooden piles and crosses a swamp that floods in the spring. The boardwalk is 1.2 meters wide without passing areas, so it's important to follow the designated direction of travel. It is accessible to people in wheelchairs with assistance. At the beginning and end of the trail, the surface is gravel and asphalt. An adapted restroom is available, and the parking lot is at GPS: 56.951980, 23.512914. The trail is located near the Mežtaka trail and is being restored following the summer 2024 storm.
