The biggest National Park in Latvia. Wild, scenic and green. Have a hike, swim or have a boat ride in a river, see wild animals, wild rivers, untouched nature, sandstone caves and a lot more. The most famous spots (cities) are Sigulda, Līgatne, Cēsis. Do some research on what you'd like to see the best.

Gauja National Park is characterized by a high biological diversity, rock outcrops and varied terrain shapes, springs, picturesque landscapes and many historical and cultural monuments from different centuries. Gauja National Park is a state-level protected area that includes a large part of the territory of Sigulda and several neighbouring counties. It was established on 14 September 1973 and is therefore the first and the oldest national park in Latvia. It was established in order to protect slightly disturbed natural areas, promote nature tourism and ensure sustainable development in the area. National park is characterized by a high biological diversity, rock outcrops and varied terrain shapes, springs, picturesque landscapes and many historical and cultural monuments from different centuries. The major part of the national park and the dominant is the old valley of the Gauja River. The valley is protected and at the same time it can be used for nature and cultural history tourism, as well as healthy recreation. The area of the park is 91 745 ha and it is dividend into five functional zones. Nature reserves take up a rather small but at the same time very valuable part of the park and visits are prohibited to these areas. In the rest of the territory is allowed only such economic activities, which do not substantially change the historically developed structure of the landscape. Forests take up ~47 %, almost one half of the territory. There are almost 900 plant species, 149 bird and 48 mammal species found in the territory. Since 2004 Gauja NP is a part of Natura 2000 network as a territory, which is designed for conservation of protected species and biotopes.

The Gauja National Park, established in 1973, was Latvia’s first national park. The main “artery” of the park is the ancient Gauja River valley, which was left behind when Ice Age glaciers receded. The valley is 95 kilometres long, with massive sandstone cliffs from the Devonian period. The deepest part of the river valley is at Sigulda, where it is 85 metres deep. Amazing place for relaxing canoeing and kayaking. Camping "Leiputrija" offers boat trips from Gauja National park with finish exactly in the camping. DISTANCE FROM THE GUESTHOUSE: Murjāņi (17-25 km), Sigulda (32-48 km), Ligatne (50-65 km), Cesis (80-90 km).
