The Great Ķemeri Bog is one of the main Sulphur water producing bogs around Ķemeri. The bog land soil is poor in nutrients, acid and in many places sodden. Most trees are not able to endure the harsh conditions; therefore, there are only a few surviving species, like pine and birch; and the trees do not mature as they do in the forest. The Great Ķemeri Bog Boardwalk will make your way easy into this otherwise hardly accessible land of moss, undersized pine trees, deep pools, tiny dark lakes and the flavor of wild rosemary.
The boardwalk is built from wooden boards and the longer arc will let you take a look at the landscape from the observation platform above.
After the bog walk you will be brought to Jurmala City Open Air museum. It is located on the in the pine forest. Inside the museum a fisherman's court has been set up, and its nearly 2,000 exhibits portray the fishermen's work and life in Jūrmala in the 19th and 20th centuries. After a short visit of the museum, you will be offered to taste freshly smoked fish ac-companied with several types of local beer and malt drink.
