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.
