Berlin to Helsinki Day 16: Sigulda
Camping in a national park in Latvia next to the Gauja river:
It wasn't super far away to get here from Rīga and we arrived in the early afternoon - enough time to wander around the park. We took some scenic bike trails through the forest, saw some old mansions in the hills and visited a medieval castle from 1244.
View of the river and the castle ruins from the surviving watch tower. I think I spotted some attacking Visigoths.
Mylène taking a break in the grass on the castle grounds.
We also biked to a famous overlook called the Artist's hill because the view makes it look like a naturally framed canvas.
