Ngemuva kwebhuloho, lapho umgwaqo omkhulu we-"Pskov- Riga " udlulela khona, isigaba esithule kunazo zonke sesiteshi seGauja siqala - ngamakhilomitha angu-100 ngamabhange amancane aphansi.
Eduze edolobheni laseStrenči, i- current iyasheshisa, futhi umfula unciphisa. AbakwaKayakers bathanda ukuhlala lapha phakathi nesikhukhula. Ngaphandle kokugeleza kahle, lesi sigaba seGauja sibonakala ngenani elikhulu lemifula encane egelezayo (Abuls, Loya, Amata, Brasla), eneziqhingi ze-canyon - izindawo ezifanele zokuhamba nge-canoeing kanye ne-kayaking.

Ibhange lomfula kule ngxenye, njengokungathi umbukiso owodwa oqhubekayo wemyuziyamu evulekile yemvelo yemvelo. Izivakashi ezivela emhlabeni wonke ziza lapha ukuze zibone:
- ubuhle obuhle bokufakwa kwe-sandstone ebomvu , igolide ne-gray, kwakhiwa iminyaka eyizigidi ezingu-350 edlule;
- Isimo se-Aivazu esiphuthumayo ;
- amatshe aphezulu (Erglu, Leachu-Langu, Kuku, Sietinjiesis);
- emaphandleni emfihlakalo (phakathi kwabo emhumeni omkhulu kunawo wonke eBaltic Gutman);

- "Amadwala" alubomvu Anfabricas noLustusis .
Ngaphezu kwepaki laseGauja, umfula uyancipha, okwamanje kuyaba ngcono, futhi amabhange esanti atholakala. Umfula uGauja ugeleza waya eGulf of Riga ngomlomo omkhulu (80-100 m).
Yini okufanele uyenze?
