Līgatne - Sigulda



















No Sábado passado fizemos a nossa primeira caminhada. Fomos de comboio até Līgatne e viemos a pé até Sigulda. Passámos pelo parque de Līgatne e vimos alguns animais, aqueles que se mostraram. Depois de uma pausa para descansar e nos alimentarmos seguimos em direcção ao Rio Gauja, que nos guiaria até Sigulda. Com a intenção de cortar curvas do rio, fomos por atalhos e tivemos de atravessar florestas onde não haviam trilhos e campos sem nada à volta. Estivemos algum tempo indecisos e a tentar descobrir o caminho de volta ao trilho, mas vimos sítios que não teríamos visto se tivéssemos seguido pelo trilho indicado. A paisagem é deslumbrante e encontram-se casas nos sítios mais improváveis e bonitos.
A etapa final foi subir inúmeros degraus até ao miradouro de Paradīzes Kalns, já em Sigulda, que tem a vista mais bonita sobre o vale do Gauja. Foram 30km e 9 horas, no final já não sentia os pés mas, mais uma vez valeu a pena, pelos sítios por onde passámos e pelas aventuras que tivemos. Senti que realizei mais um objectivo na vida e que esta foi a primeira de muitas longas caminhadas.

Last Saturday we did our first hike. We went by train to Līgatne and came back to Sigulda hiking. We passed trough the Līgatne's Park and saw some animals, those who shoed themselves. After a short break to rest and to feed ourselves we continued to Gauja's river, which would lead us until Sigulda. With the intention of cutting some of the river's curves, we went trough shortcuts and had do cross forests where there were no trails and fields in the middle of nowhere. We spent some time in indecision and trying to figure out the way back to the trail, but we saw places that we wouldn't had seen if we follow the trail in the trail in the first place. The landscape is gorgeous and one can find houses in the most unlikely and beautiful spots.
The final stage was going up endless steps until we reached the Paradīzes Kalns' viewpoint, which has the most beautiful view over the Gauja's valley. After 30km and 9 hours, I couldn't feel my feet but once again, it was worth it for the places that we went trough and the adventures we had. I feel that I've conquered another goal in my life and that this was the first of many hikings.

  1. I love colours in your photos. It looks to me, that you have created your own style of colour feeling, and I really like it very much, though compositionally, I think, you could better. But that is only my subjective opinion. :)
