Meanders of the Upper Daugava, Nature park near Daugavpils, Latvia
The Upper Daugava river forms nine distinct meanders through Latgale region, creating deep valleys with steep slopes along its natural course.
The river valley contains archaeological evidence of ancient Baltic tribes, Vikings, and crusaders who inhabited this region over several thousand years.
Traditional wooden villages dot the landscape, while Orthodox churches and ancient burial grounds reflect the diverse cultural heritage of the Upper Daugava region.
Visitors need personal transportation to explore the park, as public transit options remain limited between Kraslava and Daugavpils along route A6.
The Vasargelišķu viewing tower reaches six stories high, providing extensive views of the river bends shaped by post-glacial processes 15,000 years ago.
