Valley of the River Gauja in Sigulda accommodates the eldest tourism object in the Baltic States — Gutman's Cave, which is the largest grotto cave in the Baltics with historic inscriptions on its walls dating back to the 17th century. Gutman's Cave is related to a love legend about the Rose of Turaida — a girl named Maija, who secretly met her lover Viktors here. The mighty witnesses of the past — three castles standing at a shooting distance of a cannon from each other — Sigulda Castle, Turaida Castle and Krimulda Castle — are the first objects to be seen by travellers who have approached the primeval valley of the River Gauja. Events related to these castles date back to the 13th century when each bank of the River Gauja remained in the possession of different rulers — Riga Bishop and Order of Sword Brothers.
