Kaucminde - Bornsminde
11 km
2 to 3 hours
Difficulty: easy
What awaits you?
A relatively short route near Bauska, but you’ll find two impressive objects. Here you will get to know the Bornsminde manor and rocks, as well as the very luxurious, but unfortunately poorly preserved, Kaucminde castle.
I recommend starting at the place indicated on the route and start your walk with walking away from Kaucminde Castle, leaving it for the end on the way back.
