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 scenic bends. From the riverbanks, expansive views open onto a unique valley, with a castle built on its banks in the past and local cultural and historical sites surrounding them. This boat trip is a great opportunity to explore 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 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 “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 the only museum site in Latvia where visitors can learn about Old Believer culture and everyday life in the first half of the 20th century.
• Along the way, enjoy the beautiful natural scenery preserved when construction of the Daugavpils HPP was halted, saving this unique natural area. The decision 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 on board!
