A lovely (if tiring!) hike in the national park. Some lovely scenery, knowledgeable stories about the local area and some delicious homemade tea. We had a great day and would definitely recommend!

Great hike with Valdis! We were happy to have the opportunity to get outside in the forests and valleys of the national park in December. Valdis had planned a number of sites for us to see along the hike. Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed this tour! We were without a car on our recent trip to the Baltics, so we were looking for a way to see parts of the country without a car. We also love hiking and didnt want to miss out on seeing this part of Latvia. This tour was the perfect answer for us.
It was December 26, which was a holiday. It ended up being only the two of us and Valdis, and we had a great day hiking up and down the hills. Valdis was a great tour guide.
There are stairs throughout the National park, sometimes with railings, sometimes without. My partner wore hiking boots and I wore winter boots -- both were fine.
We loved seeing the forest in the winter, especially as the sun was setting. The hike was a great trip and we would highly recommend it.
