Tērvete forest is the only stage this season that is a repeat from last year! Nevertheless, it has a completely different race centre and fresh trails!

In Tērvete forest we will all enjoy both a trip into the wild and a trip into history of Latvia. LVM nature park in Tērvete is one of the most popular and family friendly places in Latvia. One third of the park's 1200 ha area is taken up by the Fairy tale world. Remember that visit to the park's most popular places – the Fairy tale world, Dwarf forest and Playground will take you about three hours!

More than a hundred wooden sculptures and statues can be found in the park – Sprīdītis (Tom Thumb), giant Lutausis, the Forest King and his court, little Annele with her friends, dwarfs and “live” fairytale characters – crafted after the fairytale plays by the famous Latvian writer Anna Brigadere. You will also learn about the might of the ancient Semigallians, bringing back memories to modern generations when climbing up the three ancient castle mounds. When it comes to military semigalians were one of the most developed tribes in this field. Nameisis, the King of Semigalia and leader of freedom fights, also known as Namejs or Nameitis is said to have lived in Tērvete.
