You step out of a comfortable, air‑conditioned vehicle and the air changes—peaty, cool, with a distant salt edge where the Baltic insists on presence. The day begins in Riga; within an hour you’re moving along low, flat polders toward Ķemeri National Park, where a wooden boardwalk threads across a living bog and the landscape breathes in slow increments.
