Here the Baltic Sea meets dense forests, bogs and lakes. A special feature of the park is the so-called “Slītere Lighthouse”, a high, forested hill that was formed during the Ice Age and used to serve as a landmark for sailors.The national park is a paradise for birdwatchers. It provides habitat for numerous rare and endangered bird species. During migration seasons, thousands of birds can be observed using the park as a resting place.In addition, the park offers hiking and biking trails, information centers and observation towers for visitors. The protection and preservation of this unique environment is a priority, but at the same time it is important for the park to help people understand the beauty and importance of this landscape.
