60-Minute Boat Trip on the Daugava River Bends aboard “Dinaburga”

Explore the Daugava River Bends aboard the “Dinaburga” boat! The Daugava is the main artery of Daugavpils Municipality, flowing in picturesque curves. From the riverbanks, expansive views open up over a unique valley, where a castle was built in the past and the banks are lined with local cultural and historical sites. A boat trip is a wonderful opportunity to discover the cultural and historical heritage and see for yourself the most scenic stretch of the Daugava, rich in sights. During the trip, you will see:
• Slutišķi Cliff, the largest exposed Quaternary rock formation in the Latvian part of the Daugava Valley;
• “Daugava Gates” — the narrowest section of the ancient Daugava Valley between Slutišķi and Ververi cliffs, and one of the most significant sites on the “Latvian Green Pearls” list;
• Ververi Cliff, a 42-metre-high Quaternary rock cliff offering an unforgettable view of the “Daugava Gates”;
• Markova Hillfort, one of the smallest Latgalian hillforts;
• Slutišķi Old Believers’ village, where time has stood still for more than 100 years. It is the only museum site in Latvia where you can learn about Old Believer culture and everyday life in the first half of the 20th century.
• During the trip, you will enjoy magnificent natural scenery preserved after the construction of Daugavpils HES was halted, saving this unique natural area. The site is one of the symbols of Latvia’s National Awakening.
• The trip ends at the “Daugavas lokos” campsite.
The trip lasts 60 minutes. See you aboard!
