Krustiņi: Rāmkalni, the Gauja Valley and active days in nature

Krustiņi combines nature experiences on the Gauja with a variety of activities at Rāmkalni leisure park. Anyone planning a trip with children or looking to accommodate different interests will find ideas here for active hours, scenic experiences and culinary breaks. When searching for a holiday apartment in Krustiņi, you can therefore consider whether you would like to focus on water activities, winter sports, exercise or shared discoveries.

Gauja riverbank and views over the valley

Rāmkalni’s picnic areas are located on the banks of the Gauja. Barbecuing and relaxing outdoors are possible there. This part of the stay particularly appeals to travellers who want to spend time outside between different activities. The attraction “Lidojošais krēsls” offers another perspective on the landscape: From above, it provides a view of the Gauja Valley. This allows you to get to know the surroundings not only from the riverbank but also from an elevated vantage point.

Tobogganing, skiing and boating

For a short, clearly defined activity, Rāmkalni has a toboggan run. It is approximately 0.5 km long and has seven curves. Travelling with children, you can plan this experience as a separate item on your itinerary without turning it into a longer tour. In winter, the Rāmkalni ski slope adds to the range of activities. The run is 200 metres long, and two anchor lifts are also available. The area is suitable both for beginners in skiing and snowboarding and for experienced winter sports enthusiasts. Instructors and equipment rental are available at the ski slope.

Rāmkalni also offers various possibilities on the water. The leisure park has a boat rental service with routes of varying levels of difficulty. The boat rental service also provides boaters with transport to and from the beginning and end points of the route. When planning a boat trip, you can therefore take the respective route and the associated transfer into account together, without limiting your stay to just one type of activity.

Route through Gauja National Park

The Rāmkalni–Sigulda route is a choice of its own for hiking and nature days. It runs within Gauja National Park, begins at Rāmkalni leisure park and ends at Sigulda railway station. Clearly named starting and finishing points make this connection appealing to travellers who want to organise their outing along a set route. When choosing accommodation in Krustiņi, the key consideration is the type of trip you want: Are you mainly looking for a base for physical activity, or would you like to combine different experiences around Rāmkalni?

Pizza workshop and regional cuisine

Rāmkalni also offers a culinary way to experience the destination. The pizza workshop takes place at the Bella Pizza pizzeria in Rāmkalni leisure park, Vītiņkalni, Krustiņi, Inčukalna parish, Sigulda Municipality, LV-2141, Latvia. The workshop includes tasting the pizza together with Rāmkalni BIO mors. For families and groups who enjoy trying something together, this is a different way to shape their stay than a purely outdoor activity.

The Rāmkalni bistro serves home-style cooking and various savoury dishes, including juicy pork chops, crispy meatballs, solyanka and pancakes. This allows you to alternate between an active day, a break on the banks of the Gauja, a workshop and an uncomplicated meal when planning your trip. Searching for a holiday apartment or holiday house in Krustiņi is particularly logical if you would like to combine these different experiences into a varied stay without limiting yourself to just one theme.
