Hiking

The 42 meter high Freedom Monument is the symbol of Riga. It was built during the first Latvian independence in the early 1930s and symbolizes the three Latvian regions of that time with the three stars. The statue faces west, which can be taken as a clear sign.

The monument is a symbol of Latvia's independence. The lady on top of the obelisk holding three gold stars is affectionately called Milda by the locals.
