Hi! My hometown is Sigulda – the Latvian Switzerland. Exactly there I started to love nature. For the last few years, I am organizing hikes across Latvia, for locals and foreigners. I would love to show you some of the beautiful parts of Latvia.
Hiking in nature is proven to have many health benefits, like, the physical exercise you get when out on the trail, and the emotional or mental relief that comes from being in nature. Are you ready for a nature experience? If yes, let`s go for the next adventure together!

There are three one-day guided hikes: Gauja National Park around Sigulda, the raised bog trail in Kemeri National Park, and a seaside walk in Riga out to the Daugavgriva Lighthouse.
Around 10 kilometres, with views over the sea and forest. On the way to the Daugavgriva Lighthouse you pass old bunkers left from Soviet times.
Edgar Pless, a local guide from Sigulda. He has spent the last few years organising hikes across Latvia for both locals and visitors from abroad.
Sigulda sits in Gauja National Park, the largest and oldest national park in Latvia. Locals gave it the nickname for its sandstone outcrops, natural springs, steep river valley and wide forest views.
Kemeri is known for the Great Kemeri Bog and one of the most popular boardwalk trails in Latvia, along with its mineral waters, therapeutic mud and unusually high biological diversity.
Each tour can be booked through its Airbnb Experience listing, or you can write directly to [email protected].
