Lake Teperis and the Old Park in Smiltene, Latvia

This is one of the most beautiful city parks in Latvia with a lake with a floating fountain.

There you may explore a well-equipped promenade with places for recreation, boat rental, sports grounds, several bridges, a fountain illuminated in the dark and a local “waterfall” – a water cascade one can walk under.

Here you can enjoy a relaxing walk or do some active sports: in summer – volleyball, swimming, cycling, rollerblading; in winter – ice skating, skiing or Nordic walking. The park has an outdoor gym that operates 24/7.

The old park is located between Teperis and Vidusezers lakes connected by the Abuls river. On the shores of the Vidusezers lake one may find the ruins of the castle of the German order built in the 14th century.
