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

Discover the Daugava River Bends on a boat trip! The Daugava is the main feature of Daugavpils Municipality, winding through picturesque curves. From the riverbanks, broad scenic views open onto a unique valley, with a castle built on its banks in the past and local cultural and historical sites surrounding them. A boat trip is a wonderful opportunity to see for yourself the cultural and historical heritage, as well as the most scenic and attraction-rich stretch of the Daugava.

During the trip, you will see:
• Slutišķi Cliff, the largest exposure of Quaternary rock 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 “Latvia’s Green Pearls” list.
• Ververi Cliff, a 42-metre-high Quaternary rock escarpment offering an unforgettable view of the “Daugava Gates”.
• Markova Hillfort, one of the smallest Latgalian hillforts.
• Slutišķi Old Believer village, where time has stood still for more than 100 years. It is home to Latvia’s only museum site where visitors can learn about Old Believer culture and daily life in the first half of the 20th century.
• During the trip, you will enjoy magnificent natural scenery preserved when construction of the Daugavpils HPP was halted, saving this unique natural area. The halt is one of the symbols of our National Awakening.
• The trip ends at the “Daugavas lokos” campsite.

The trip lasts 60 minutes. See you aboard!
