During winter season, it is exciting to go with snowshoes or kicksleds to hike into the forest, swamps, ponds or across lakes. A discovery trip is not just a walk, but a journey full of emotions. The views of the crisp, iridescent and also snowy landscape are unparalleled at any moment. Snow is like a soft carpet on the landscape, and snowshoes or sleds allow us pass areas that otherwise are difficult. According to snow thickness, we choose the most suitable hiking equipment for movement. The hiking distance depends on the speed of movement and time, i.e. approximately 2-3 hours. You get exiting experiences, moderate physical exertion and a lot of positive emotions are guaranteed.

In the mid-20th century, Smarde's Green Bog witnessed peat extraction until the revelation of hydrogen sulfide mineral waters beneath, leading to the cessation of peat mining in 1960. This halt also marked the end of water pumping from peat quarries, transforming them into water reservoirs. Despite the mining's cessation, drainage systems persist in influencing the bog's water dynamics. Cormorants, or sea crows, have chosen this altered landscape as their habitat, crafting nests among the withered trees. The bog's vivid emerald waters, alongside desiccated trees and cormorant colonies, form its distinctive hallmark, resulting in a uniquely captivating landscape with an almost apocalyptic ambiance.
