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

Discover the Daugava Loops on a boat trip aboard “Dinaburga”! The Daugava is the main artery of Daugavpils Municipality, winding through picturesque bends. From the riverbanks, you can enjoy expansive views of a unique valley, with a historic castle site and local cultural heritage landmarks along its banks. This boat trip is a great opportunity to see the cultural heritage and the most scenic, attraction-rich stretch of the Daugava for yourself.

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 Vervēri cliffs, and one of the most notable sites on the “Latvia’s Green Pearls” list;
• Vervēri 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 Believer village, where time has stood still for more than 100 years. It is the only museum site in Latvia where you can explore Old Believer culture and everyday life in the first half of the 20th century.

During the trip, you will enjoy magnificent natural scenery preserved when construction of the Daugavpils Hydroelectric Power Plant was halted, saving this unique natural area. The site is also one of the symbols of Latvia’s National Awakening.

The trip ends at the “Daugavas lokos” campsite. The trip lasts 60 minutes. See you on board!
