The Art Trail at Valguma pasaule, Ķemeri National Park

<p>Valguma pasaule is a quiet, beautiful spot in the forest in Ķemeri National Park, 63 km from Rīga - about an hour's drive. Many people have been here in summer, walking the barefoot trail, but there is something to do in winter too: walk the Art Trail (Mākslas taka), listen to the sound of the wind, take unusual pictures on the magic chair and find your own name in the huge labyrinth.</p>
<p>Around 100 large-format photographs are set out along the Art Trail. One loop is the nature of New Zealand: more than forty large-format pictures by Andris Apse, who was nominated as New Zealand's nature landscape master of 2020. The other walking loop is Latvian nature - Ķemeri National Park in photographs by Andris Eglītis.</p>
<p>Besides the photographs, the trail has a name-day labyrinth, optical illusions, photo surprises, a wind bell and a Leonardo da Vinci mirror pavilion.</p>
<h3>Getting there and what it costs</h3>
<p>Cars are left at the roadside by the gate, and from there it is a walk to the ticket office. Admission to the Art Trail in 2021: adults 5 euro, schoolchildren, pensioners and people with disabilities 4 euro, preschool children free. At that time the trail was open only at weekends - Saturdays and Sundays from 13:00 to 19:00.</p>
