Visit the Gauj
as National Park ?
The Gauja River carves its way through about 40km of hills of Devonian sandstone, as it winds its way from Valmiera to Sigulda, leaving behind a surrealistic tangle of carved hills and forest-covered banks. Established in 1973 specifically to protect the indigenous flora and fauna , this park is simply the most beautiful in all of Latvia.

Visit Wieliczka?
The ancient salt mine of Wieliczka predates the Polish state itself and opened as a museum in 1950. Approximately 200km of tunnels and corridors stretch out in a vast web underneath the town. The highlights, as you wander the long galleries, are the chambers containing underground chapels. Everything is made of salt – the altars, candlesticks, columns and pulpits, even the figures of the saints.
