Read moreThe Gutmanis cave, covered with rock drawings, takes its name from a healer who used the water in the cave to remove wrinkles. The Viktors cave was named after a castle gardener who dug it for his fiancée Maija, known as the Rose of Turaida. Legend has it that she was murdered by a Polish officer in the nearby cave. The hill is called Dainu kalns, or "Mount of the Dainas"; it is covered with sculptures in honour of the poet Barons who, in the 19th century, collected thousands of dainas.
