Gauja National Park, the largest national park in Latvia, offers diverse landscapes including forests, rivers, and sandstone cliffs. Hiking and cycling are popular activities, with trails varying in difficulty and accessibility. Some trails are better suited for guided tours, particularly for deeper insights into the park's ecology and history. Solo exploration is also feasible with well-marked paths and maps. Seasonal restrictions may apply, particularly during breeding seasons or due to weather conditions like flooding or heavy snowfall. Costs can vary depending on transportation, accommodation, and activity choices, but generally, it's an affordable destination. A typical visit can range from a day trip to several days, depending on the areas explored. While some parts are accessible, certain trails might present challenges for visitors with mobility issues. Be sure to check official park websites for current conditions and accessibility information.
