Sigulda as a Latvians Switzerland

Do you like visiting castles? When I was a kid, I thought it was really boring. I always rather prefered some cycling or hiking. Now, I think we should know the history and these places are so fascinating, the atmosphere around and everything. It has been here for so long...

Did you know that:
...  locals calls this place for its beauty: "Latvians Switzerland"
... nice and historically significant town of Sigulda
... located just 53 km from the capital Riga
... very popular among Latvians
... beautiful views of the valley of the Gauja River, forests (from the castle)
... next to Gauja National Park

A few photos:



















Now I am able to visit some castle just by myself if I have to. But I still prefer hiking. So, I guess that I´ve changed but just a little bit.
