They say you have to judge the patties while they’re still hot. Freshly baked and soft. Besides, they are the most delicious! It is the same with winter and the opportunities it provides. Especially in January, when the joy of winter has awakened in the heart and the snow is shining white outside the window.
Close your eyes to the harsh island. Needless to say, everyone knows Latvian winter. When, like a real teenager, he can’t choose – enjoy a beautiful winter and abundant harvests only while waiting for Christmas, or come to visit later – in January, February and maybe even at the beginning of March.
I invite you to go and enjoy the joys of winter. Take a loved one with you, you can also bring several, because it’s more fun together, as well as dressed warmly – scarf, hat, woolen gloves and other winter accessories. Also, don’t forget about a thermos with something tasty and hot, which will warm you up even for a moment. When everything is prepared, go on adventures – both far and near!
Start by picking
When was the last time you peed? Build a snowman? And from the heart. If the answer is in childhood, then shame on you, because these are real winter joys, which, by the way, do not cost a cent. Exactly the same story about making angels by lying down in the snow for just a few seconds.
Don’t forget the sleds, which will come in handy for the nearest mountain. And I’m not talking about a small children’s entertainment program in the winter. With these examples, I want to remind everyone that it is worth giving yourself joy.
Moreover, putting my hand on my heart, I can say that the joys of winter have the taste of childhood and I believe that everyone feels it. However, they should not remain only in childhood memories together with parents and grandparents, they should also be present in adulthood. In addition, it reminds us that everything beautiful lies in simplicity. Not to mention the fun and true spirit of adventure hunters.
Go on a breathtaking experience with the Huskies
Yes, you read that right. Right here in Latvia, you have the opportunity to be just like the queen and king of the Vikings. A trip with huskies in a carriage accompanied by professionals will not only be a new experience, but also one of the most unforgettable moments.
Huskies’ slow steps appeal to both young and old alike. And the most beautiful thing is that in this somewhat even foreign experience, because who hasn’t seen this joy in real winter movies, you will be the only winner.
Not only to experience a trip with these unique dogs, but also to enjoy the richness of Latvia’s nature – the beautiful forests, which in winter resemble a fairyland.
Romance in a sleigh
A sleigh ride is tempting because time seems to stand still.
Thoughts, worries, responsibilities slip far, far away, because during the trip there is an opportunity to capture the magic of winter. In addition, trips are suitable not only for couples to enjoy romance, but also for the whole family.
The blanket that is most often in the sleigh makes the trip even cozier, which makes you feel just like at home, curled up in a blanket by the fireplace.
Winter picnic – for both young and old
Winter picnics are one of the most beautiful winter pleasures. I think it’s because food tastes completely different when you’re out. It immediately has a different taste.
A particularly beautiful event is to go for a walk with a thermos of hot chocolate in your hands, which will remind you of the past Christmas, and if you still take some gingerbread or tangerines with you, which, by the way, you can buy in stores, thus prolonging the holiday. Meeting with loved ones will turn into a little jampadrac after the holidays. With conversations and even more “juicier” laughter.
Special sauna rituals
It is not a lie that sauna rituals have an indescribable power. They invite and bind. Moreover, not only in the warmest time of the year. In winter, sauna rituals have a different value.
After a good warm-up in the sauna, you can rub with snow, roll around in the snow, splash yourself with icy water, and for the bravest, take a dip in the abalone, which will make the ritual as enjoyable as possible.
Of course, you should follow your body and don’t overdo it. Therefore, please think about woolen socks right away.
Ice fishing
Who said ice fishing is only for the stronger sex? There was nothing. Ladies, this one just has to be experienced.
Of course, safety comes first, but this winter fun can become addictive. This is because the world takes second place here as well.
It’s just you, everything you need for ice fishing and your thoughts. It is not for nothing that they say that after fishing everything is gone, because suddenly there is no more rush. Calmness comes. And if you still managed to catch something, then happiness will be complete.
Winter classics – mountain and ice rink
And we conclude the winter joy guide with a mountain and an ice rink. You don’t have to go to the Italian Alps to experience what it means to ski and snowboard or go ice skating to the world-famous Central Park Ice Rink in New York. You can enjoy these winter pleasures in Latvia.
There are downhill skiing tracks in almost every region of Latvia. We have Žagarkalns, Riekstukalns, Rāmkalni and also a snow park in Mežapark.
Same with ice rinks. In Riga alone, there are several ice rinks that invite you to skate every year, there are ice rinks in small towns. For example, in Gulbene, in my hometown, every winter, a skating rink is specially prepared in the stadium, and the locals are excited. My conclusion – you must want. Plus, you can find plenty of places to go in the depths of the internet.
