AND SURROUNDINGS<br />

SIGULDA<br />

Located on the both sides of the Gauja valley, Sigulda is one of the most beautiful<br />

Latvian towns. For centuries, it has been captivating visitors from around<br />

the world wishing to experience the breathtaking view across the valley and<br />

discover the unique objects that are, in large numbers, located right next to<br />

each other all across Sigulda and its surroundings.<br />

MORE<br />

More is known as a unique place, not only in the history of Latvia, but in the<br />

history of Europe. Very important battles were fought in 1944, when Latvians<br />

battled in war with forces ten times bigger and influenced the course of history.<br />

To honour these events, a Battle Commemorative park has been created<br />

and fragments of trenches and bunkers can be seen in More. Many traces of<br />

the time may be explored in More’s Battle museum.<br />

More can be enjoyed by animal lovers. Mini Zoo Salmiņi is proud to host more<br />

than 50 species of birds, as well as very small animals. In the deer reserve Safari<br />

More, in a paddock area of 140 ha live more than 300 fallow-deer and European<br />

red deer. One can be certain – not only will they come really close to<br />

you but they will gladly take some snacks right from your hand.<br />

ALLAŽI<br />

Five kilometres from Sigulda, Allaži invites you to look at some interesting objects.<br />

You can take a look at the lake, which at times disappears underground<br />

partly or totally; you may visit a romantic church and taste some goat cheese<br />

made in Allaži. Besides the unique geological object with its cave-ins in Ezernieki<br />

karst caves, visitors to Allaži are happy to enjoy the springs of Kaļķugrava.<br />

Does the water in these springs really have some mysterious power? And it<br />

seems there is no other place in Latvia where you can find a national romanticism<br />

style church, with such acoustics. Besides, Allaži is the only place where in<br />

the local manor houses from 1823 to 1905 the celebrated drink ķimelis – greatly<br />

loved even in royal houses of Europe – was brewed.<br />

GETTING TO SIGULDA<br />

Sigulda is located 50 km or one hour’s drive away from Riga, regardless of<br />

whether you drive by car, bus or train. Public transport runs every hour from Riga<br />

International Bus Station and Central Station.<br />

THE LEGEND OF THE ROSE OF TURAIDA<br />

“In the spring of 1601, during the Polish - Swedish<br />

War, Swedish troops occupied Turaida<br />

Castle. After the battle, the clerk of the castle,<br />

Greifs, found a few week-old girl between the<br />

killed soldiers. He carried the girl home and<br />

pledged to raise her. It was May, so the girl<br />

was named Maija. Years passed, and Maija<br />

grew into a pretty maiden. Because of her<br />

beauty people called her the Rose of Turaida.<br />

On the opposite bank of Gauja – in the<br />

Sigulda Castle – lived her fiancé, gardener<br />

Viktors Heils. In the evenings they met at Gutman’s<br />

cave. At that time two Polish army deserters<br />

– Jakubovskis and Skudrītis – served at<br />

the castle. Jakubovskis lusted after Maija and<br />

wanted to marry her, but she rejected his proposal.<br />

It enraged Jakubovskis and he decided<br />

to get the girl by force. He sent Skudrītis as<br />

if on behalf of Viktors to tell Maija to come to<br />

their usual meeting place, but – at an unusual<br />

time. When Maija came and saw that it was<br />

a trap, she decided that she would rather<br />

die than be embarrassed. It was a time when<br />

people believed in witchcraft. There was a<br />

red silk handkerchief around the girl’s neck,<br />

which her groom had given her, so she said<br />

to Jakubovskis that this scarf has a magical<br />

ability – it shields its carrier from a sword, and<br />

asked him to try it out. Jakubovskis hesitated<br />

at the beginning, but then he took the sword<br />

and hit her as strong as he could, and the girl<br />

collapsed at his feet. Jakubovskis, frightened<br />

and revolted by his own deed ran into the<br />

World Cup in Roller Slalom 14.-15.07.<br />

For the first time, the World Cup in Roller<br />

Slalom will be held in Latvia. Roller slalom is<br />

a new sport, in which one has to go down<br />

a slalom route with rollers used instead of<br />

skates.<br />

Art and Participation Festival NATURE /<br />

URBAN / FUTURE, 26.11.2012-01.25.2013.<br />

Can we expect nature’s victory over the<br />

ideas win and nature retreat before humans?<br />

These are issues that will be investigated<br />

in the framework of the NATURE / URBAN /<br />

forest and hanged himself. In the evening,<br />

Heils found the killed Maija at the cave, and<br />

rushed to Turaida for help. Viktors’ hatchet<br />

was found with blood at the cave. A court<br />

was held in Turaida Castle and it was ruled<br />

that the killer was Viktors, and sentenced<br />

him to death. Skudrītis, who had followed Jakubovskis<br />

and seen everything, changed the<br />

course of events. He told the court what had<br />

happened in reality, and Viktors was set free,<br />

but the girl was buried in the cemetery at the<br />

church of Turaida. Her memorial can be seen<br />

at the Turaida church.”<br />

The old legend inspired several authors to create<br />

works of art on the Rose of Turaida about<br />

eternal fidelity and the power of love.

OBJECTS OF CULTURAL HERITAGE<br />

If you are interested in history, Sigulda is the right place. Since the time the<br />

Livs fought with the German crusaders, Sigulda has had some exciting legends<br />

and three mighty castles, located a cannon shot away from each other.<br />

Events related to these castles tell the story of the 13th century, when after a<br />

collision between the Bishop and the Sword Order, each side of the Gauja was<br />

under a different ruler.<br />

1. 2.<br />

1. Sigulda Medieval Castle<br />

It was built in 1207 as a castellum type fortress<br />

and later on rebuilt into a convent type building.<br />

From 2012 it is possible to climb up the<br />

North Tower and the Main Gate Tower, walk on<br />

the castle walls and enjoy the medieval aura.<br />

The most visited museum in Latvia, where you<br />

archaeology, culture and art history,<br />

which tell the story of events that have occurred<br />

castle and church, Gauja Livs, the old manor<br />

centre and Dainu Hill – each tells its own story.<br />
