Pirts (Latvian nature spa and sauna tradition) for us, northern countries, is very special. It is not only swishing of brooms, made from local plants.

We know our neighbourhood very well and can give you a lot of information about the exciting sights around here and tell you the best places and canoe tours to have a great time alone, with your family or in a group of friends. We will help you to choose the most appropriate route and transportation to and from the river Gauja from Karlamuiza Country Hotel.

In Cēsis Castle and museum you can hear the story about the town and the people who have created the history of Vidzeme, Latvia and even Europe. The glory of centuries old buildings creates a unique harmony of eras from eight centuries. Art and history lovers can enjoy rousing exhibitions here, and the New Castle's Lademaher Tower offers an amazing view across the old town of Cēsis. You can feel the beauty of Romanticism, which is a delicate mixture of nature and aristocracy, in the New Castle and its parks.
