Pape Nature Park
Dabas parks Pape
A protected area of lakes, marshes and coastline near the Lithuanian border, home to Konik horses and European bison and an important migration route for birds.
Pape Nature Park lies about 40 km south of Liepāja and includes Lake Pape, coastal dunes and wetlands. It is an important migration corridor for birds along the Baltic coast, and tens of thousands of birds can be seen in spring and autumn. Inside the park's large enclosures, Konik horses and European bison roam. You can observe them from viewing trails and birdwatching towers. Nearby, the Pape fishing village preserves traditional thatched-roof fishermen's houses, and an open-air museum is open in summer. It is best to drive there and bring binoculars.
