Nature trail in Dunika bog

Coordinates: 56.280956, 21.382829 (immediately enters the bog)

In Dunika parish, one of the most surprising places is the Dunika moor, which is crossed by a boardwalk built by the "Latvijas valsts mežu" with several rest areas. On the southern side of the bog, there is a grove of Lukne hornbeams. This is the only place in Latvia where common hornbeam grows in a pure stand on an area of 11 ha. In Lukne, it has reached the extreme northwestern limit of its distribution. According to local residents, a tank has sunk in the bog, but no one has yet managed to find it.
