Bird watching tower on Sloka Lake
The bird watching tower actually is just one point from Sloka lake walking trail:
The trail winds through diverse forest settings along the coastline of the lake populated by numerous waterfowl. It starts and ends next to Sloka Lake, where there is a car parking lot a picnic site and a 7 m high floating overhead platform for sightseers. Hiking on the trail takes you to a number of interesting sites: the swamp forests of Vēršupīte, a sulfur spring next to Sloka Lake, the great bolder and several swamp lakes.
Walking on the trail gives you a chance to test your physical fitness by trying out the swing, walking on a narrow log, climbing and doing other fitness tests.
The overhead platform is a good place for bird watching on Sloka Lake.
