Sigulda — beautiful nature and castles

After seeing everything in Riga, we did some research, and decided to take the train to Sigulda, only an hour away from Riga. Sigulda is a small town with around 17,000 inhabitants. It is located in the Vidzeme region in Latvia and 53 kilometres away from Riga. The town is overlooking the Gauja river valley and around the valley, there are multiple old castles and mansions. We walked around 20000 steps and saw different creeks, castle hills, Livonian castle and the new Sigulda castle. for our surprise there were easy to find nice and and tasty meals on our way. coffee was a bit pricey , but worth it. we enjoyed a half day I. this little town and would come back in autumn to see the seasons change. #sigulda #latvia #spring #walk
