Hike from Ozolnieki to Old Riga
Not recommended. All day endurance hike with unnecessary obstacles and very few interesting landmarks.
The first section of the trip, namely Ozolnieki - Olaine crosses a forest path, already marked by me in red, where the path is either destroyed by heavy forestry machinery, debris or both. The path is…

Second…

Sigulda - Līgatne roundtrip
Very nice endurance hike with plenty of beautiful scenery on the first half of the hike and relatively straightforward walk back. Note that the path near Gauja river involves some relatively steep climbs and descends, therefore surefootedness required.

Hike from Krustiņi to Līgatne
All and all an interesting all day endurance hike. However I would strongly advice against attempts to follow Gauja river bends at the beginning of the hike. I started from the bridge (recording begins a bit later, as indicated on the map) and had to cross private property and a…
