Gauja National Park sits in Vidzeme, a region with medieval Livonian history—Cēsis preserves castle ruins and Araisi recreates a 9th–10th century lakesettlement.
Gauja National Park, established in 1973, is managed to protect its sandstone outcrops, rivers and wetlands; stick to marked trails and use leave-no-trace practices to limit erosion and disturbance.
