Overview

You will hike on some of the most beautiful and hidden nature trails in the famous Gauja National Park. You will also enjoy "forest bathing" - immersing yourself in a real natural forest and soaking it up through your senses to its fullest. After the hike, you will recharge your batteries by tasting some local goodies and local drinks during the pick-nick-style lunchtime. Before leaving Līgtne Town you will also have a chance to taste local fruit wines in the local wine shop.
