Overview

Latvia’s Switzerland: Guided Nature Walk

Hi, I’m Edgar. I guide private / small-group hikes on quiet forest trails with beautiful Gauja Valley views. This experience is approximately 12 km (≈7.5 mi) through pure nature, forests, river lookouts, and a few hidden viewpoints. We keep an easy-to-moderate pace and tailor the route to the group. Ready to breathe deep and explore?

Walk mostly on forest paths with stops at scenic viewpoints over the Gauja Valley

Where we’ll be

Gauja National Park — Sigulda area: forest trails, river valley overlooks, and classic “Latvia’s Switzerland” scenery.
