Overview
Lauga bog is located near Birini. During the hike you will be able to see the world of moss, small pine trees, bog river, tiny dark lakes and smell wild rosemary. The astute visitor will notice the carnivorous plant of sundew, and a variety of birds – wood sandpipers, white wagtails, tree pipits, and also hear cranes further away. The developed part of the bog has a large cranberry farm – one of the first artificial cranberry farms in Latvia.
