Guided group: A Day Hike on Sigulda’s Local Trails, Golden Autumn Edition, October 11, 2025
A day of caves, hills, and the colors of autumn in Sigulda
When autumn sets in, the Gauja Valley becomes a painter’s canvas - golds, ambers, and deep greens weave together across the hills. The air turns crisp, the light softens, and every step feels like part of the season’s quiet celebration. This guided 24 km hike follows Sigulda’s local trails at the height of autumn, bringing together forest paths, riverbank tracks, rolling hills, and ridgelines with sweeping views.
Along the way, we’ll step into sandstone caves glowing with filtered light, walk through spruce stands where moss cushions the ground, and pause at viewpoints where the Gauja glints between fiery treetops. Some stretches will challenge you - a slope to climb, a narrow trail to balance - while others will invite pure flow, letting you sink into the rhythm of walking.
