A heavily overgrown Lake Kaņieris is a lagoon-type lake and is a protected nature object located in Ķemeri National Park. The lake is one of the richest in Latvia in bird and plant diversity, therefore it is favoured by anglers and ornithologists. There are 14 islands on the lake, which are particularly loved by water birds as good resting spots during migration. More than 200 bird species have been identified at Lake Kaņieris overall. The richest diversity can be seen during the spring season and in early autumn.
Bird watching tower allows to enjoy some truly spectacular views over the lake. The tower is located on Lake Kaņieris on the "Riekstu pussala" and allows you to see a significant part of Lake Kaņieris.
