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 />

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 />
