    I like the bog culture in this country: most large bogs are also tourism objects, for hiking (on very strictly observed wooden platform trails), very controlled fishing (you have to pick up a new permit every day, and a ‘ranger’ person patrols during the off-season, too) or birdwatching (esp. spring and autumn, during the major migratory periods).
    I have some photos of the ancestral bog (i.e. my grandma grew up next to it and picked cranberries there as a child) -- not nearly as impressive as Ķemeri (it’s one of the best), but it’s also not the Dead Marshes of Mordor. :)
