Emperor's chair (Ķeizarkrēsls)

Opposite of Piķenes Cliff on the left bank of the River Gauja there is the massive Beites Cliff, which is crossed by a deep ravine of a brook.

On its western side there is the viewpoint Ķeizarskats, which is located ~ 67 m above the level of River Gauja offering an outstanding view towards Krimulda and Turaida Castle. A viewing platform was developed already in 1862, when the Russian Tsar Alexander II visited Sigulda. While on the eastern side of the ravine there is the large wooden chair Ķeizarkrēsls. To get there one shall walk (drive) around the ravine along the Laurenču, Kalna and Gulbju streets.
