Reviews of Sigulda
The first bridge over the Gauja river was built in 1937 as difficult technical construction for that time, but soon after war it was destroyed. The existing bridge was restored in 1950. The Sigulda Gauja Bridge is the only monolithic reinforced concrete bridge in Latvia that is based on three circle arches 35 meters wide. The total length of the bridge is 153 meters and the height above the river is over 16 meters.
The bridge was built in 1979 across the river Gauja with the aim to create a round route for the visitors of Gauja river old valley. A scenic view can be observed from the bridge to Velnala (Devil's cave) cliffs and the Gauja river.
The 600 meter long serpentine road leads from Sigulda Festivity Square to the Gauja river, giving the opportunity to know the unique beauty of the river from another viewpoint.
Roads connecting Sigulda, Krimulda, and Turaida have formed over the course of many centuries. One of these, Serpentine Road from Krimulda to Sigulda, is rich with history.
