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

Discover the Daugava River Bends on a boat trip aboard “Dinaburga”! The Daugava is the main axis of Daugavpils Municipality, winding through picturesque bends. From the riverbanks, expansive views open across a unique valley, where a castle was built in the past and the banks are surrounded by local cultural and historical sites. This boat trip is a great opportunity to explore the cultural and historical heritage and see for yourself the most beautiful stretch of the Daugava, rich in sights. During the trip, you will see:
• Slutišķi Cliff, the largest exposure of Quaternary rocks 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 “Green Pearls of Latvia” list.
• Ververi Cliff, a 42-metre-high Quaternary rock cliff offering an unforgettable view of “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.
• Enjoy the magnificent natural scenery preserved when construction of the Daugavpils Hydroelectric Power Station 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!
