On this trip you will encounter a rich blend of wetland, woodland and coastal habitats, when almost all the species have arrived and some passage migrants still remain, with the possibility to see around 200 different species. Birdwatching starts in the Gauja National Park with beautiful rolling relief, then goes to the eastern edge of the Gulf of Riga and Lake Burtnieks where there is also the chance of night trekking on the flood plains. Seda bog with its reed beds and flood plains is rich in wildlife. Next day canoeing along the Gauja river will offer a different viewpoint to see the birds, plus with luck some beaver and other wild fauna. Then you pass through oak forest to Lake Lubans. Its wetlands and fish ponds form one of the prime birdwatching sites in the country. A local speciality - fish-soup - will keep you warm. The site is also one of the first known stone-age settlements in Latvian territory. On the way back to Riga there is a stop at Garkalne pine forest.

Lilijas un Alfrēda Štelmaheru radītais dārzs Bērzes upes krastā tiek dēvēts gan par akmens pasaku, gan brīnumdārzu. Tas daudzkārt godalgots daiļdārzu konkursos. Akmeņu kolekcija ir veidota vairāku desmitu gadu laikā. Dārzā ir ievietoti dažādu formu un lieluma akmeņi, dzirnakmeņi, verstu stabi un pagastu robežstabi. Akmeņu kolekcionēšana ir bijusi Alfrēda Štelmahera vaļasprieks. Akmeņu ekspozīciju papildina dekoratīvie stādījumi un augu kompozīcijas, par kurām rūpējas dārza saimniece. Akmens dārzs ir zaļa un mājīga vide ikvienam dārza apmeklētājam.

One of the most beautiful sections of the Baltic Coastal Hiking Route in Matsalu National Park, which leads through the agricultural lands and coastal meadows located near Matsalu Bay, where thousands of migrating cranes and geese gather in autumn.

Obwohl von den 104 Dorfhäusern im Ersten Weltkrieg 97 Häuser zerstört wurden, hat sich das Dorf Lapmežciems am Ende der 1930er Jahre schnell erholt, und da arbeitete eine der stärksten Fischergenossenschaften der lettischen Küste. Während der Sowjetzeit wurde hier eine der größten Fischerkolchosen Selga gegründet, deren Gebäude bei der Mündung des Flusses Siliņupe zu sehen sind. Heute ist Lapmežciems ein beliebter Sommerhäuserbezirk, Erholungs- und Badeort. Als ein interessantes Denkmal der Fischereigeschichte kann man hier die ehemalige Anlegestelle der Fischerboote von Lapmežciems besichtigen, wo die Fischer Netzhütten gebaut und ihre Werkzeuge aufbewahrt haben. Zwischen der Pīlādžu Straße und dem linken Ufer des Flusses Siliņupe befand sich vom 3. – 2. Jahrtausend v. Ch. eine Fischer- und Jägersiedlung, an deren Stelle ein Denkmal aufgestellt ist. Dieser Ort ist die älteste bekannte Siedlung auf dem Gebiet des Nationalparks von Ķemeri. Ein Teil der Funde kann man im Museum von Lapmežciems besichtigen, wo eine heimatkundliche Ausstellung eingerichtet und das Material über die Kämpfe der finnischen Jäger in der Umgebung von Klapkalnciems gesammelt worden ist.

Found at Rīgas Street 22A, this impressive building was suggested by Latvian President Kārlis Ulmanis and built in 1936 and 1937 after a design by the architect Verners Vitands.  It is seen as one of the most outstanding architectural monuments from the first period of Latvian independence, and it is said that it was once the most modern multifunctional building in all of Europe.  The building now houses the Daugavpils Theatre, the Latgale Central Library, the Latvian Cultural Centre, the Latvian House, the US Information Centre, the Daugavpils Tourism Information Centre and other institutions.  Unity Square is alongside the building, and beautiful compositions of flowers are nearby during the growing season.

This is one of two crossing points across the Daugava (the other is near Līvāni).  It is an exotic form of transportation to carry pedestrians, bicyclists and light automobiles across the river.  There is a motor that operates a 200-metre metal cable.  The crossing point is based on Soviet military pontoons that were used to build pontoon bridges for tanks.  The crossing point was established by its owners.  The Dunava Catholic Church is on the left bank of the river, and nearby is a monument to rafters.  During the 1820s, there were three crossing points of this type across the Daugava.
