The recreation area \u201cReme\u0161i\u201d is located on the shores of the seventh largest lake in Latvia. Lake Bab\u012bte was formed approximately 3,000 to 4,000 years ago, when a shallow bay separated from the Litorina Sea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

This lake is 2,988 hectares wide, the coastline is 33 kilometers long. The average depth is 0.9 meters, while the maximum depth is 1.7 meters.<\/span><\/p>

Lake Bab\u012bte and its surroundings are an important bird concentration area. 184 bird species have been identified here, 36 of which nest in the lake area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Not only species listed in the world's Red Book live here, but also birds protected in Europe and Latvia: the great crested grebe, the lesser grebe, the lesser grebe, the reed warbler, the horned grebe, the river tern, the little tern, the black tern, the black-backed gull, and the great crested grebe.<\/span><\/p>

Lake Bab\u012bte is home to 17 species of fish. The most common species that \u201cReme\u0161i\u201d visitors have caught in the pond are pike, perch, carp, tench, and bream.<\/span><\/p>

This is a eutrophic lake with abundant stands of common reed, lake reed and wolfsbane, as well as submerged and floating aquatic plants. Wet meadows are a valuable habitat that has survived in Zemgale only in isolated places along the Lielupe River.<\/span><\/p>

Lake Bab\u012bte connects to the Lielupe River. Until the beginning of the 19th century, there was only one connection at the western end \u2014 G\u0101te. At that time, the waters of the Lielupe River only flowed into the lake during floods.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In 1816-1817, the Spu\u0146upe was dug, which connected to the Lielupe (opposite Valteri). However, in the 20th century, it was filled in. It is currently crossed by the J\u016brmala bypass road A10. In 1988, the Varka\u013ci Canal to the Lielupe was dug at the northeastern end of Lake Bab\u012bte, ensuring a flow along the entire length of the lake.<\/span><\/p>

Polders have been built on the eastern and southern shores of the lake: Bab\u012btes, Dzilnupes, Tren\u010du, G\u0101tupes.<\/span><\/p>
