Gaiziņkalns Hill and Surroundings

Gaiziņkalns Hill is the highest point in Latvia, reaching 311.5 meters above sea level. Take the path, and you will climb Latvia's highest hill, Gaiziņkalns, cross the hilltop all over its length (~ 1 km), and see a spectacular panorama open before you over the four slopes: "Ladies' Paradise", "The Western Slope", "The Lesser Golgotha", and "Golgotha".

The Gaiziņkalns Nature Park hosts a number of heritage sites. Those are Tropeļi, Dzīšļi, and other ancient burial fields, small scale details of the landscape – old time estate borders, ridges at the foot or in the middle of slopes (old boundaries of fields), old roads, for instance, the one running from the Staburags cliff at Koknese to the Staburags of Rauna, or the so called Vidzeme Belt.
