Velnezers lake also known as Devil's lake can be found in Latgale, a region in the East of Latvia.
It got the nickname Devil's lake because it's surrounded by legends and mystery. There are stories about people disappearing in the forest, about not a bird that sings and that it's bad luck and dangerous swimming in the lake.
It's said that people don't know how the lake came to be. Some say it's because of a meteor impact, others claim it's because of an earthquake. One thing's for sure though, it's not like any other lake you've visited before.
As mysterious as it is it's also absolutely beautiful! The water is crystal clear and the silence surrounding it makes it the perfect place to find some peace and quiet.
This Devil's lake was the playground for our first Destination Challenges in Latvia. Muhahahaaaa 😈.
Paul (Passport Diary) and I were tasked to find it and take a walk around and that's exactly what we did...

Where we stayed in Latgale
The Klajumi horse ranch
Paul and I stayed here for 3 nights and had an absolutely fantastic time.
Everything at the farm is organically grown and that results in delicious meals!
The cabin we stayed at was an oasis of peace. Perfect place to recharge the batteries ;-)
My personal favourite spot is central to lots of the famous places to visit, as well as being handy for some of the best hillwalking, rock climbing or mountain biking spots in the screened in porch lake norman.
