Lake Liepāja
Liepājas ezers
A long, narrow lagoon east of the city, with many waterbirds in the reeds. A birdwatching tower and wooden boardwalk make it good for early-morning birding.
Lake Liepāja is the fourth-largest lake in Latvia. It stretches about 16 km from north to south and borders the city across a canal. The reed wetlands along its shores form an important bird reserve, where swans, geese, ducks and herons can be seen during the spring and autumn migrations. A birdwatching tower and wooden boardwalks are set up along the lake. In the evening, you can watch the sunset over the water and the silhouette of the city. In summer, you can go boating or fishing on the lake. It takes about 15 minutes by bike from the city center.
