Castle ruins and bobsled tracks in Latvia's Switzerland
Sigulda sits in Latvia's most scenic region—rolling forests and river valleys crowned with castle ruins and bobsled tracks. The castle complexes, damaged in WWII but impressive in ruin, tell stories of Crusaders and Baltic power. The town is a base for exploring nearby attractions: Gauja National Park, the Gutman's Cave, and the bobsled track at Vėlbaži. The Daina Song Festival occurs here, drawing folk performers from Baltic nations.
