In terms of shape, this is one of the most diverse areas of uncovered sandstone in Latvia. Found on the right bank of the Gauja river, the Sietiņiezis is up to 15m high. Small holes that can be seen in the cliff face are created by single and protected insects, which carve tiny caves in the cliff for their caterpillars. A circular and well appointed trail, with stairs, has been installed. It is 1.5 km in length and will take an hour or so to traverse. Objects are in the Gauja National Park.

In 1951, when it died, the pine tree had a circumference of 4.63 metres. It was the thickest pine tree in the Baltic States
This is one of the few trees with such a long history for which age has been determined by counting up circles – 370 years. All that’s left is a conserved part of the stump at the side of the road. Cross-sections of the stump are on exhibit at the Latvian Museum of Nature and the Latvian Ethnographic Open-Air Museum.

The most important aspects of this park are a shallow lagoon-type lake – Lake Pape, with its flood land meadows, the shore of the Baltic Sea, the Nida swamp, and the more than 270 different types of birds that have been spotted here. The oldest bird ringing station in Latvia (est. 1966) is found between Lake Pape and the Baltic Sea. Birds and bats are caught and ringed there. Lake Pape is the first place in Latvia where so-called “wild” horses (the “Konik” breed) were released with the aim of managing the flood land meadows.

The mouth of the most beautiful river of Vidzeme. On the seashore between the mouths of River Gauja and River Daugava, one of the largest dune ranges in Latvia with distinctive parabolic dunes overgrown with forest (wooded dunes) is situated. The Mouth of River Gauja is unique as it is one of the few major rivers in Latvia and in EU countries to flow into the sea naturally. There is no harbour or other hydro-engineering construction. It is a popular recreation area in the vicinity of Riga and Saulkrasti while, unfortunately, the lack of infrastructure makes it suffer from anthropogenic load. Not far from the rivermouth, hidden in dunes, there are pillboxes which were built in 1920 or 30ies as anti-airborne barriers. There was a whole range of them along the coastline from the mouth of the River Lielupe to the mouth of the River Gauja forming a part of the Daugavgrīva Fortress fortifications. The pillbox is made of concrete, ca 1.5m thick. Every year, on the 3rd Sunday in August, a lamprey festival takes place in Carnikava town by the Gauja rivermouth. Carnikava is called the Lamprey Capital as it is famous for its lamprey fishing tradition and generous catches. The Mouth of the River Gauja is a good bird-watching area, especially in spring and autumn when one can observe the highest variety of species. Just few of the many bird species that can be observed near the Gauja rivermouth |

This is a segment of the Gauja River which is full of rapids in some places. It stretches from Vidaga and the place where the Vecpalsa River flows into the Gauja. Along the Gauja and its tributaries, dolomite outcrops can be seen on the shores, and the largest of these are the Randati cliffs. The restricted area was established mostly to protect various kinds of forests, meadows, outcrops and their habitats. This is an interesting part of the central section of the Gauja for people who enjoy beautiful landscapes and for those who are water tourists.

Формирование парка было начато в 19-ом веке, в начале как ландшафтный парк с различными прогулочными дорожками, отдельной системой дорожек, скамеечек и мостиков. В настоящее время парк Казданги является одним из крупнейших (196 га) и дендрологически наиболее богатых усадебных парков в Латвии. Здесь насчитывается более 200 видов деревьев и кустарников, 127 из них - иностранные. Парк включает в себя весь поселок Казданга, в том числе и замок усадьбы Казданга, и территорию к северу от него, где находится семейное захоронение баронов Мантейфелей, формирование которого было начато в самом начале 20-го века, но работы были прерваны с началом Первой мировой войны. В парке обустроены зоны отдыха, декоративные элементы. В свою очередь, замок Казданга был построен около 1800 года. Автор этого проекта - известный в Европе архитектор Е.Г. Берлицс, который использовал проект архитектора Дж. Кварнеги. В состав усадебного ансамбля входили также Дом кавалеров, дом прислуги, жилой дом, конюшни, тройной мост через овраг и другие здания. В 1922 году в замке начала действовать Сельскохозяйственная школа. Сегодня здесь обустроен замковый музей Казданги и Туристический информационный центр. |

Место, где можно отправиться на короткие и продолжительные прогулки. Здесь создана «Тропа Спридитиса» (с деревянными скульптурами героев сказки Анны Бригадере), протяженностью 1,6 км, «Учебная тропа лесных пейзажей», протяженностью 3,8 км и 8-ми км (в одном направлении) «Тропа пейзажей Аугшземе». Тропы расположены в субгляциальной ложбине, сформировавшейся от таяния ледника, где друг за другом разместились соединенные протоками несколько озерков и болотцев. В целях охраны пейзажей и других ценностей создан природный заповедник. В начале троп (недалеко от Пилскалне) стоит 30-метровый Мелнайскалнс (городище Рамава).
