Re-charge Your Batteries in the Forest

Autumn has arrived, and Mother Nature has taken care not only for scenic views, rich apple crops, and foggy mornings, but also for exciting ideas about where and how to best look for the golden autumn.

The cool weather is not an obstacle to watch the sunrise in a completely unusual way and place - in a swamp. SUP or the stand-up pad is a type of water sports that is becoming increasingly popular in Latvia. In autumn mornings, the sun rises much later than in the summer, so the idea of a sunrise in a swamp is easy to make come true, for example in the Lake Skaista near Cenas Swamp. Let's try something new!

If water adventures in mornings do not seem particularly tempting to you, autumn is the perfect time to indulge in the most popular activity among Latvians - mushroom picking. In the magazine you will find tips on where to find mushrooms, how to recognise mushrooms and, of course, how to cook them. However, keep in mind that only the mushrooms that you recognise may be put in the basket!

Those enjoying historic adventures, are recommended to visit the Christmas Battle Museum. In three small rooms there are informative stands and a mock-up of the swamp, which explains the events that took place such a long time ago, while the photos make the soldiers very real and close.

It is interesting that Latgale has recently become very popular among travellers. And it is no wonder, since this region has a lot of hidden treasures to reveal to travellers. In the magazine you will find tourist attractions worth being included in the plan of your next trip. Tīrumnieki Nature Trail, one of the most popular attractions, is especially popular among bird watchers.

To find out how the forest has intermingled with the life of Intars Busulis, read an interview with the artist himself. Asked about the role of forest in his life, the musician says: "Here I feel like a part of the forest, it feels as if I merge with the nature."

Once you have chosen your nearest place of activities or planned your travel route, it's time to get dressed and head for an unforgettable adventure in the nature!
