The Curves of Liepa

The hiking route in one of the most beautiful places in Latvia, Gaujas National Park near the town of Liepa, leads through the scenic and slightly mysterious nature of Vidzeme. Liepas Ellite, where the underground reveals secrets, along the winding curves of the Rauna river and the peaceful banks of the Gauja.
Along the way you will see the unique Licu Langu cliffs, the unusual Lodes quarry and other sights.

This hike begins in one of the most beautiful places in Gauja Nacionalais parks, where you will experience remarkable sights.
With the first steps, you will enter a historic manor whose expressive buildings and park allow you to feel the true majesty of the past.
Continuing along roads and trails, you will reach river crossroads, where you can recharge with nature’s energy and fresh air, and then move on into a mystical forest, along the longest river in our land and the extraordinary natural wonders of its ancient valley: mysterious caves and steep cliffs. Nearby is one of the unique attractions created by people, inviting you to look into the distance and trace the path ahead, past a peaceful resting place, from which the trails will suddenly turn into roads and the hike will come to an end.
