Our guide, Lauris, did a great job! Very knowledgeable, friendly, with a good sense of humor. The hike was a lot of fun and not too difficult. There were a lot of great views, interesting geographic features, and historical sites.

This was a great experience, helped by the weather being a perfect sunny day! The guide was great company and provided top narration about Latvia and the national park. The trail is a beautiful part of the park. It was a relaxing day out.

This was the highlight of my trip to Latvia so far. The scenery was beautiful! We walked alongside the river for a good portion of the hike, and the view from the top of the hill was breathtaking. There was even a section of the hike that went through a beautiful grassy pasture with cows. It was such a cool experience to go from the Riga city scene to the peace and quiet of the park. The amount of walking and areas of incline was worth every second. The tour guide was so informative, and because I was solo it was a very personalized experience. I definitely recommend this hike if you want to see the essence of Latvia's nature!
