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 feature of Daugavpils Municipality, winding through picturesque curves. From the riverbanks, wide landscape views open onto 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 see the cultural and historical heritage and the most scenic, sight-rich stretch of the Daugava for yourself.

During the trip, you will see:
• The 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 the Slutišķi and Ververi cliffs, and one of the most significant sites on the “Latvian Green Pearls” list.
• The Ververi Cliff, a 42-metre-high Quaternary rock cliff offering an unforgettable view of “Daugava Gates”.
• Markova Hillfort, one of the smallest Latgalian hillforts.
• The 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 learn about Old Believer culture and daily life in the first half of the 20th century.
• The trip also offers beautiful natural scenery preserved when construction of the Daugavpils Hydroelectric Power Station was halted, saving this unique natural area. The halt 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!
