The Gauja River was once navigable and used for transportation, leading to the construction of Livonian settlements on its banks, along with several ancient castles on hilltops that still stand today. In the park, visitors can see oaks planted by kings, experience the healing properties of springs, hear echoes in limestone caves, and explore the forests. Whilst you can view all the park&#8217;s highlights by car, it&#8217;s much more enjoyable to take a short hike, bike ride, or horseback ride.
