  • Summary of the Development Vision 2030 for Tourism and Transport Corridor of the VIA Hanseatica Route
    Summary of the development vision 2030 for tourism and transport corridor of the VIA Hanseatica route VIA Hanseatica is a historically ancient tourism route connecting Russia, Estonia and Latvia. This route is based on historic transport and trade routes from St. Petersburg through Tartu to Riga and further to Western Europe. VIA Hanseatica and its adjacent area serve as an important tourism development corridor, however, one of the limiting factors for achieving its full potential is the availability and quality of transport services. Both local and foreign tourists, looking for an alternative means of transport for personal road transport, face the fragmentation of the proposed transport solutions, the lack of digitally available information, as well as the inconvenience of public transport use and the incompatibility of scheduling times, which hampers convenient movement between several tourism sites in the vicinity of the transport corridor. Also when choosing personal road transport, tourists face different barriers, such as the quality of infrastructure (road condition, lack of road signs). Picture No 1: Area of the tourist route VIA Hanseatica and its external reach On the tourism route VIA Hanseatica, the transport flow in the Vidzeme planning region is moving along the country's main road A3 Incukalns – Valmiera – Estonian border (Valka), the railway line Riga – Lugaji – the state border, as well as the functionally linked section of the road A2 Incukalns – Drabesi and section of the road P20 Drabesi – Cesis – Valmiera, including the direction of Smiltene - Valka. The vision of VIA Hanseatica for 2030 highlights its connecting function and its mobility: VIA Hanseatica tourism corridor is the connecting wire between the most demanding destinations – Riga, Gauja National Park and Tartu, which provides extensive, convenient, efficient and environmentally friendly mobility opportunities.

  • Lower Gauja Spillway Valley at Sigulda
    Late Quaternary Terrestrial Processes, Sediments and History: from Glacial to Postglacial Environments STOP 1: Lower Gauja spillway valley at Sigulda Māris Krievāns, Vitālijs Zelčs and Māris Nartišs University of Latvia The stop (24°50'2"E, 57°10'15"N, for location see Fig. 1.1) at the Krimulda Castle ruins in Sigulda introduces the geological structure, morphology and formation of the River Gauja valley and slope processes between the towns of Valmiera and Vangaži. This stretch of the river valley, also known as the Lower Gauja spillway valley, is about 110 km long. The spillway is confined to an ancient buried valley incised into Middle and Upper Devonian sedimentary rock (Pērkons 1947). The oversized river valley is 1-2.5 km wide and reaches a depth of 25 m near Valmiera, 35-40 m in the vicinity of Cēsis and 85 m at Sigulda. The floor of the bedrock within the valley lies at 17-18 m a.s.l. near Valmiera, 12 m b.s.l. in the vicinity of Cēsis and more than 50 m b.s.l. at Sigulda (Fig. 1.2). It is significant that downstream of Cēsis the ancient valley is carved into weakly-cemented and/or soft Devonian terrigenous rock that runs along the lithological boundary with carbonate rock.
