Cycling tour in Latvia to visit Gauja National Park in the area of Sigulda. Switzerland of Latvia is what you might often hear locals saying about Sigulda. This is because of the river Gauja valley which is ~100 meters deep and this for a country with highest hill of only 312 meters above the sea level is significant.
Between Latvians this area is considered as very hilly and we would even call these hills mountains. The good thing about Latvian mountains is that you can still enjoy exciting bicycle rides without having serious cycling experience.
Most of the hills can be done easily, but the steeper ones can be done by just walking up if it's too much.
The Gūtmaņala (Goodman's Cave) grotto is the most popular and vast cave in Latvia. It was formed in the course of 10,000 years by water gradually eroding sandstone. The grotto is a protected geological site and the oldest tourist attraction in Latvia. Gūtmaņala is 10 m high, 12 m wide and 18.8 m deep, and notable for inscriptions on its walls, the oldest of which date back to the years 1668 and 1677.
