Teiči Nature Reserve - Riga, Latvia


The reserve is home to a number of rare or threatened species, including 38 protected species of flowering plants and ferns and 24 protected species of moss.  
On one of the islands in the nature reserve, Siksala, a small group of Old Believers lived. Ethnic Russians, they arrived on Siksala island in the 17th century, escaping religious persecution, and still maintain their village.
