Subjects :Lake Kadaga certainly offers few photographable views, but of good effect. I prefer it in winter where the colors are more homogeneous and the scenery makes much more. The woods are subject to a bit monotonous in the long run and you have to find different views to not always have the same shots. You have to work with imagination and if anything work on shots of details and not on wide-angle "landscape". The fauna in winter is not much, also because nearby there is a military shooting range that certainly drives away most of the animals. But in the end if you are lucky you can photograph swans (not in winter) foxes, ducks and if you are lucky you will find deer, elk, wild boar, wolves, lynx and brown bears. Retracing the inland waterways it is easy to come across beavers and otters.
Recommended equipment :We recommend the use of the Tripod and ND filters. Many photographs can be taken by hand without any problems.
Best months :In winter (from November to March) it offers breathtaking landscapes.
How to get there :From the capital RIGA, arrive near the railway station, and head towards the fish market (Hangar) where the terminus of the bus nr. 6821 for Kadaga. The cost of the ticket at the moment (Dec.2022) is 1.60e. Get off at the last stop and then walk for about 4 km to the lake.
