Gaiziņkalns, Hill in Bērzaune Parish, Latvia

Gaiziņkalns is a hill in Bērzaune Parish, Latvia, and it is the highest point in the country, reaching 312 meters (1,024 feet) above sea level. The summit area includes a marked viewpoint and signs, while the surrounding slopes are covered with forest and open spaces.

A tower was built on the summit to surpass the height of a neighboring country's peak, but construction was never completed. The structure was later demolished in 2012 due to safety concerns.

Local people often visit the summit for outdoor walks and to enjoy the view, especially during weekends. The site is also a common stop for travelers interested in geography, who come to see the highest point of the Baltic state.

The area is accessible by car, with parking available near the summit, and paths lead to the top. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes, as the terrain can be uneven and muddy after rain.

The summit itself is a natural high point with no construction, but a multilingual sign nearby marks the spot. The hill is part of a network of high points in the Baltic region, often compared with similar peaks in Estonia and Lithuania.
