After my trip in Courland, the blue lakes, classical palaces and traditional Art Nouveau in Riga, I spent a weekend in the forest and more specifically to Gauja National Park. Called the Latvian Switzerland, this park is very popular and appreciated by tourists - foreigners and Latvians. To see so many people in the nature changes me from my days of lonelyness and I missed my peace. I plunged a little deeper into the forest to find myself alone with ferocious mosquitoes. The mysteries of the woods have proven to me and let me tell you the legend of the Rose of Turaida.
