Two-Day Hiking Trip in Latvia From Valmiera to Cesis (45km)

In this video, I share my two-day solo hiking adventure in my home country of Latvia. I hiked from Valmiera to Cesis, along the river Gauja in the Gauja National Park. In total, this hike took me two days to finish, and the total distance was about 45km. It's a fun little hike with superb sceneries, and I'd recommend it for anyone who's visiting Latvia. Although it's a cycling trail, it's well-marked and also can be hiked.
