Modern roads connecting towns of Sigulda, Krimulda and Turaida have been built throughout centuries. If you look at the ancient maps, it’s obvious that many of the old roads have disappeared, many have been rebuilt but a lot of them have preserved as witnesses of historical events. This time we’ll try to enjoy at least a part of them, while of course visiting some of the most popular tourism objects located in the picturesque Gauja valley!

EnterGauja:: “Each moment spent in the Gauja National park is saturated with the presence of nature. Just like a fern, opening its leaves, Gauja slowly takes you deeper into the mystical world of untouched nature, where every tree has as legend to tell.”

The race centre located on the territory of Krimulda manor is an exciting destination as well – the restored main house, historical outbuildings and impressive parks with their massive oak trees create a sensation of being in a peaceful town. And we won’t even mention the dreamy view over Gauja valley and the Sigulda cable car that you can enjoy from the main house…

It’s more than obvious that there’ll be plenty to see on this run! The co-author of countless Roe buck trails Artis Ločmelis stresses: “Massage your thighs well!”, as the hills, valleys, technical trails and steep highs are no strangers on the Krimulda, Turaida and Sigulda side! Let’s also take note, that our trails are located on the territory of Gauja National Park, which is well-known for its vast biological diversity, bold relief, springs, sandstone outcrops, picturesque views, as well as peculiar relicts of nature and cultural history. So, remember – run only on the trails that have been marked for this occasion!

The up-until-now-unknown trails were introduced to us by Kaspars Kārkliņš (head of “Sigulda Marathon club”) and Artis Ločmelis (“VSK Burkānciems”)! A special “Thank you!” for practical advice and tips on how to behave ourselves in an especially sensitive are goes out to the experts form Vidzeme region Nature Consevarion Agency’s Department of Nature protection!

See you in the romantic Krimulda manor of Gauja valley!!! krimuldasmuiza.lv
