Aizvīķi Forest Park is beautiful and interesting in all seasons. The park was planted in the late 1880s as the Aizvīķi manor-house park. Alongside local species of trees, it also has exotic species.
This is an excellent place for a family with children to have a walk, as apart from picturesque sceneries created by Mother Nature herself, the park also offers a number of man-made carved fairy-tale images and characters telling tales from the history of Aizvīķi.
This is a peculiar forest park, woven with secrets and legends. It was formed in the end of the 19th century as the Aizvīķi manor park, when the manor baron fon Korf sowed the nearby hilly land with pine and spruce forest. Later the 40 ha large territory had been sowed with other trees and installed with walking paths and a pheasant garden.
In addition to the picturesque forest landscape, you will also find a number of characters from fairy tales and legends carved in wood, telling the visitors of the Aizvīķi history and cultural heritage sites – the Dark Gutter, Footstone, Witch’s Punishment Site, Witch’s Puddle, Ghost Hill and the 18th century cemetery. There’s also a Green Class site at the Park for children to learn about the nature.
