Description of the hiking route:

There are no lakes in the marshes of the island, or akachs, but there are several mineral islands that stand up to 10 m above the surroundings. The island of the island is located in Lubāns wetlands in seasonal reserve and is therefore available for viewing only from 1 August to 1 November. The island's marsh is a diverse area in terms of habitats and landscapes. When you look carefully, you can see the insect plant - a witch. A number of world-threatened bird species are present in the Lubāns wetlands: kikuts, cutter, sea eagle, fish eagle. The route leads through protected areas of nature, is not marked in nature and is not intended for walking without “swamp” guide.
