Bookmark & shareLegend of the Turaida Rose lives on in God's Garden.
This enchanted town stands on the southern edge of a picturesque, steep-sided, wooded section of the Gauja Valley and is spanned by a string of medieval castles and legend-laden caves. Known locally as the 'Switzerland of Latvia', Sigulda is a minor health resort and a winter sports centre - with an Olympic bobsled run snaking down into the valley.
