This is Latvia’s first major hydroelectric power plant, and construction along the right bank of the Daugava began in 1936. The plant was designed by the architect Eižens Laube. The first hydro-aggregate (17 MW of capacity as the largest plant in Latvia) was switched on in 1939. A second round of construction occurred between 1976 until 1979, the result being a new building on the left bank of the Daugava, increasing the capacity of the plant to 260 MW. Another round of reconstruction occurred between 1998 and 2001 on the left bank of the Daugava (the HES-2 plant). The Energy Museum is now there.

There are several buildings from the estate that survive to the present day and were built by the Plater dynasty of noblemen. The old mansion that is on the side of the Count Plater Street was built in 1759 on the banks of the Jāņupīte River. The Baroque building was designed by an architect from Venice, Antonio Parazzo. Later the mansion was rebuilt, and after a new castle was erected, the Plater family spent its summers on the first floor of the old building. The second and third floors had a library with some 20,000 books. The noblemen managed to move most of the contents of the library to safer locations during World War I, when the library as such was destroyed. Work on the new castle of the Krāslava Estate (on the upper part of the Daugava River Valley) began in 1756 (architect Domenico Parazzo). Initially it was in the Baroque style, but reconstruction at the turn of the 18th century involved Classicism. Unique Rococo wall paintings with views of Rome have been discovered in the building. These were based on samples from castles in Poland and were painted during the 1760s and 1770. A high school used the new castle until the 1970s. Then the building was abandoned and gradually turned into a ruin. More recently there has been major renovation of the castle’s façade, and it now has a good appearance. Surrounding the structure is a romantic landscape park that dates back to the mid-18th century. It is on the hillocks of the Daugava River Valley and the valleys that cross it. An artificial grotto has been restored, and a statue of a lion stands guard over the site. The stairway has been placed in its historical location, and the park features pathways and a yard. |

The complex dates back to the 17th and 18th century, when a fortress was replaced by a mansion and other buildings. The rectangular yard that is in the centre of the state is surrounded by the mansion, two granaries with columns that were built opposite one another, a stable and a wheelhouse. The stable and wheelhouse, the bell tower and the gate create the most impressive part of the buildings. Bells were rung because of religious rituals, but also to inform people at the estate about everyday issues. The silhouette of the building is reminiscent of cloisters, city halls and churches that were common in Europe in the 18th century. In 1780, the estate was taken over by the family of Karl Otto von Löwenstern, and the mansion can only be viewed from the outside. There is a hiking trail near the estate. |

The monument dedicated to the Staburags cliff was installed in 2003. Designed by the sculptress Solveiga Vasiļeva, the monument is known as “The Ear of God,” and it is installed in the place where the reservoir of the Pļaviņas hydroelectric power plant flooded one of Latvia’s most interesting geological monuments. Staburags relates to many legends and stories told by rafters. It stood 18.5 m high and was a sandstone cliff on the left bank of the Daugava River, dating back to the last Ice Age. The Liepavots stream that trickled out of the cliff is now also underwater. Staburags and the flooded Daugava quarry were once among the most popular tourist destinations in Latvia. |

The ruins of the Koknese Castle are found where the Daugava and Pērse rivers flow together. The castle, which is on a floodplain, was built for the bishopric of Rīga in 1209, and it replaced an ancient Latvian castle that was made of wood. The castle was blown up by Saxon forces in 1701. A visitors centre is near the ruins, and there you can carve a Medieval coin or rent a boat to sail down the Daugava. Make sure to stroll through the Koknese park, which is alongside the ruins. |

The rock is along the main street of Krāslava and is found at Augusta Street 12. After major reconstruction of the city’s infrastructure, the rock was successfully integrated into the surrounding landscape. The rock is 2.8 m long, 2.2 m wide and 700 cm high. It once served as a border stone for the village of Krāslava. It was placed there in 1729 to commemorate the day when the noble Plater dynasty bought Krāslava. The dynasty’s seal is engraved in the side of the rock along with the date when it was installed. Legend has it that Polish King Augustus II dined at the rock after a hunt, and that is why it is known as Augustus’ Rock. |

The monument is on the banks of the Daugava River opposite Kaļķu Street in Pļaviņas. The symbolic raft is made of logs and stones, and around it are informational stands with photographs that tell the story of the heavy work that rafters on the Daugava once did in terms of overcoming the rapids of the river. |

Established in 1900 at the place where the Pērse River flows into the Daugava (now the reservoir of the Pļaviņas hydroelectric power plant), the park offers a look at 17th century Swedish cannons and monuments from Medieval graves. Next to the high school in the park is a restored fountain, “Head of a Faun,” which was near the legendary Pērse waterfall during the 1930s. The waterfall is now underwater, but its location is indicated by a stone sculpture, “Girl of Pērse,” which was created by the sculptor Juris Zihmanis. A path leads to an 11 metre high wooden sculpture, “For Eternity,” by the sculptor Ģirts Burvis, and another sculpture, “Little Owl,” which is the work of the Rurāns brothers, both of whom are sculptors of wooden sculptures.

The origins of the castle date back to 1237. The closed yard that was typical of Medieval castles has been preserved. The interior took on its Historicism design in the mid-19th century, but there are also more ancient elements such as the gate tower, the basic walls, the firing apertures, the vaulted structures, the window apertures, etc. The Jēkabpils Museum of History was installed in the castle in 1994, and it can be toured in the company of a guide or an audio guide. |

This is one of comparatively few castle hills along the banks of the Daugava River that is not overgrown with trees and bushes, which means that it has a classical castle hill form that is part of the local landscape. The Dignāja castle hill was settled during several periods, particularly between the 5th and the 9th century AD, when it was an important centre. Archaeologists have found that Lettigalian tribes lived here. After the Holy Crusade invasion, the Livonian Order built a castle on the hill that has not survived. It is said that there was once an underground passageway under the hill. The hill itself offers a lovely view of the Daugava River valley. World War I trenches have been preserved the area. There was once a settlement at the foot of the hill. |

The museum is in the Lielvārde Park. It is in the granary of the Lielvārde Estate that was built in the early 19th century. It was later used as a residential building. A veranda was added to it in 1922. The museum has been there since 1970, and it features exhibits about the Latvian national epos “Lāčplēsis” and its author, Andrejs Pumpurs (1841-1902). The museum also features information about the history and ethnography of the Lielvārde Administrative District. Alongside it is a large rock that weighs around 80 tonnes and is known as Lāčplēsis’ Bed. A broken part of the rock is known as the Lāčplēsis blanket. Both rocks were once on the banks of the Daugava River next to the Lielvārde island. Waters from the Ķegums hydroelectric power plant now make waves in that area. Nearby is the so-called Spīdala log that was brought from Aizkraukle.

A wooden church was built by local craftsmen here between 1655 and 1658. Financed by the Plater aristocratic family, it was a miniature basilica, and this is seen as one of the oldest wooden churches in Latgale. That makes it a unique cultural and historical monument. The central altar has baroque wood carvings that were produced by masters from a local sculptural school. The side altar includes a painting of Mary Magdalene from the mid-18th century. The church was moved to its present location on the right bank of the Daugava in 1698. It has been restored several times – in 1890 and 1918. The stone wall that stretches around the church dates back to the late 17th century, and the freestanding bell tower was built in the mid-19th century. It was restored in 2002. According to various sources of information, the Indrica congregation is the oldest one in Latgale. |

Arheoloģisko izrakumu materiāli liecina, ka Ogres upes krastus ir apdzīvojuši lībieši. Ogre, kā lielāka apdzīvota vieta un nozīmīgs kūrorts, izveidojās pēc Rīgas-Daugavpils dzelzceļa izbūves 1861. g. Līdz 1. pasaules karam Ogrē savus pakalpojumus piedāvāja ~ 300 vasarnīcas, kas kara laikā g.k. tika nopostītas. Nākamais „liela mēroga" notikums norisinājās 1965. g., kad Ogrē uzcēla vienu no Eiropā lielākajiem trikotāžas kombinātiem, kurā strādāja viesstrādnieki no Vjetnamas u.c. valstīm. Mūsdienās Ogre savu kūrorta slavu vēl joprojām nav atguvusi, bet gan kļuvusi par samērā ekskluzīvu g.k. mazstāvu privātmāju apbūves vietu. |

Lai mazinātu upes grīvas aizsērēšanu un regulētu tecējumu, 19. gs. vidū tika uzcelts Austrumu mols – 980 m garumā. Tā pamatu veido koka pāļu konstrukcija, kas nosegta ar akmeņiem. 2,2 km garais mols mūsdienās ir atjaunots un kalpo kā iecienīta pastaigu, atpūtas un makšķerēšanas vieta visos gadalaikos. No mola var vērot putnus, paretam var laimēties redzēt arī kādu roni. Mola sākumā apskatāmi 2 laukakmeņi, kuros iekaltais teksts vēstī, ka šo būvi apmeklējuši Krievijas imperators Aleksandrs II (1856. g.) un troņmantnieks Nikolajs Aleksandrovičs (1860. g.). Šis fakts izceļ Rīgas ostas nozīmīgumu tā laika Baltijas jūras tirdzniecības ceļu kontekstā. |

Daugavas kanjons no Pļaviņām līdz Koknesei pirms appludināšanas bija viena no izcilākajām un skaistākajām Baltijas reljefa formām, bet Oliņkalns - viens no Latvijas lielākajiem pilskalniem, kura līdz 20 m augstā klints (Andreja klints) bija Daugavas kanjona sastāvdaļa. Pie Oliņkalna Daugavā pirms appludināšanas bija stipra krāce, kas apgrūtināja plostnieku darbu. Mūsdienās Oliņkalns ir neliela sala Pļaviņu HES ūdenskrātuvē (zinātājs pamanīs no Rīgas – Daugavpils šosejas (A 6) iepretim Stukmaņiem), ko no krasta atdala 0,3 km plata upes atteka, zem kuras dzelmē dus Dūņu leja. Uz salas saglabājies neliels pilskalna valnis, estrādes paliekas un dažus metrus augsts dolomīta atsegums – Andreja klints paliekas. Uzskata, ka Oliņkalnā 13. gs. atradusies Alenes pils. Pie Daugavas iepretim Oliņkalnam ir piemiņas akmens, ko 1989. g. uzstādīja Latvijas alpīnisti. |

Vecākais Latvijas dendrārijs, kura stādījumus plānojis un veidojis Skrīveru muižas īpašnieks Maksimilians fon Siverss (1857. – 1919.). Jāatzīmē, ka līdz 1. pasaules karam sugu skaits parkā ir bijis divas reizes lielāks. Augu stādījumi ir grupēti pēc to dabiskās augšanas vietas – dažādiem pasaules ģeobotāniskiem rajoniem. Parkā ir izveidoti pastaigu celiņi, bet pie augiem izvietotas plāksnītes ar sugas nosaukumu latviešu un latīņu valodā. Apmeklētāji var apskatīt strūklaku, kas darbojas no otrdienas līdz svētdienai (no 11 00 – 23 00, katru pilnu stundu pusstundas garumā).

Pēc Rīgas HES ūdenskrātuves izveides – sala, pirms tam – Daugavas kreisā krasta pussala. 1. pasaules kara laikā Nāves salā norisinājās ilgstošas latviešu strēlnieku kaujas pret vācu armijas pārspēku. 1916. g. 25. septembrī vācieši pret latviešu strēlniekiem izmantoja indīgas kaujas gāzes. Lai godinātu šos notikumus, 1924. g. pēc arhitekta E. Laubes projekta Nāves salas ziemeļu krastā uzbūvēja pieminekli kritušajiem latviešu strēlniekiem. Nāves sala sasniedzama ar laivu. Ir vērts iepazīst salā esošos ierakumus un kapuvietas. Nāves salas ZR krastā ir izbūvēta laivu piestātne, bet netālu no tās - atpūtas vieta. Cīņas Nāves salā aprakstījis Aleksandrs Grīns savā leģendārajā darbā „Dvēseļu putenis”. |

Mūsdienās – sala Pļaviņu HES ūdenskrātuvē, kurai var piekļūt ar laivu. Sens sēļu pilskalns, kas bijis apdzīvots vairakkārt laikā no 6. - 12. gadsimtam. Šeit atradās Sēlijas novada politiski - militārais centrs. 1373. g. līdzīgi kā daudzos citos senču pilskalnos Livonijas ordenis uzcēla mūra pili, ko nopostīja 1704. gadā - Ziemeļu kara laikā. Līdz mūsdienām ir saglabājušās četrstūrveida torņa atliekas, sardzes telpa un 12 m augsts priekšpils uzbērums. Apmēram 0,3 km ziemeļos no Sēlpils pilskalna redzams applūdinātais Oliņkalns. |

Atrodas dienvidos no Kokneses uz salas, ko apņem Pļaviņu HES ūdeņi (ir savienojums ar krastu). Fundamentālā brīvdabas objekta izveides mērķis ir to Latvijas iedzīvotāju piemiņa, kuri ir cietuši no totalitāriem režīmiem. Pirmos darbus šeit uzsāka 2008. gadā. Dārza ainavas projekta autors ir Japānas ainavu arhitekts Shunmyo Masuno. Kaut arī dārzs ir tapšanas stadijā, tas jau ir kļuvis par populāru tūrisma objektu. Ir izveidota pirmā pastāvīgā ēka - Skatu terase - ar skatu uz Kokneses pilsdrupām un luterāņu baznīcu. Tas nozīmē, ka, atbraucot pēc kāda laika, šeit atkal būs apskatāms kas jauns. Ikviens ir aicināts vest un atstāt arī savu akmeni šajā mūsu tautai nozīmīgajā vēstures piemiņas vietā. |

Ir atrodamas ziņas, ka baznīca šajā vietā atradusies 17. gadsimtā. Mūsdienās redzamais dievnams ir celts laikā no 1792. – 1794. gadam. Kupolveidīgās celtnes projekta autors bija Rīgas pilsētas galvenais būvmeistars Kristofers Hāberlands. Kupola forma nodrošina labu akustiku iekštelpās. Altāris izvietots pret ieejas durvīm. Starp ēkas kolonnām ir novietota altārglezna, kas attēlo Kristu un Pēteri viļņos apņemtajā jūrā. Kā nozīmīgi interjera priekšmeti jāmin 18. – 19. gs. vīna kausi, svečturi u.c. 2014. gadā ēka restaurēta. Dienvidos no baznīcas atrodas Katlakalna kapi, kuros apglabāts ievērojamais vācbaltu rakstnieks un publicists Garlībs Merķelis (1769. – 1850.), kuram bija nozīmīga loma dzimtbūšanas atcelšanai Baltijā. Katlakalna ev.lut. baznīcas jau vairāk nekā 200 gadus slejas varenu priežu audze, kuras taciņas aizvedīs līdz pat Daugavai, no kuras krasta var palūkoties uz Rīgas TV torni. |

Viena no divām šāda tipa Daugavas pārceltuvēm (otra pie Līvāniem), kas joprojām darbojas kā savā ziņā eksotisks transporta līdzeklis, pārceļot gan gājējus, velobraucējus, gan vieglos automobiļus. Pārceltuvi uz priekšu virza motors un pāri upei (platums – 0,2 km) nostiepta metāla trose. Pārceltuve ir veidota no Padomju armijas pontoniem, kas bija domāti tanku pontontiltu celšanai. Pārceltuvi izveidojuši tās īpašnieki.Daugavas kreisajā krastā paceļas Dunavas katoļu baznīca. Netālu no pārceltuves Daugavas krastā novietots piemineklis, kas veltīts Daugavas plostniekiem. 19. gs. 20. gados Līvānos bija trīs pārceltuves pār Daugavu. |

Baznīca atrodas pilsētas centrā - Svētā Ludviga laukumā. Dievnams, ko uzskata par spilgtāko Latgales baroka pieminekli, būvēts laikā no 1755. līdz 1767. g. pēc itāliešu arhitekta Antonio Parako projekta. Ticīgo pasaulē šī ir ļoti svarīga vieta, jo 1775. g. no Romas atveda Krāslavas patrona Svētā Donāta relikvijas, kuras 1818. g. novietoja šim nolūkam speciāli celtā kapličā. Kopš 1790. gada līdz pat mūsdienām pirmajā svētdienā pēc Svētā Pētera dienas tiek svinēti Svētā Donāta svētki. Dievnamā ir 13 altāri. Centrālā altāra freskas „Svētais Ludvigs dodas krusta karā” autors ir itāļu mākslinieks F. Kastaldi. Vēlāk centrālo altāri papildināja ar tāda paša nosaukuma poļu mākslinieka J. Mateiko altārgleznu. Baznīcas pagrabos (atjaunoti) ir apskatāmas grāfu Plāteru kapenes, kas izveidotas 1775. gadā. Tās ir patiesi iespaidīgas, tādēļ dievnamu vērts izstaigāt vietējā gida pavadībā. Dievkalpojumi notiek katru dienu, tādēļ baznīcu var apskatīt arī no iekšpuses. |

This location is important in terms of Latvia’s history, because during the 12th and 13th century, this was the administrative and spiritual centre of the Lettigalian tribe, with the ruler of Jersika being Visvaldis. The castle stood on the shore of the Daugava at a height of 18 m, and this was a mighty castle hill. The flat part of the hill measured 100 x 75 m, and it was surrounded by a barrier and a defensive wall made of logs. People entered the castle via guarded gates beyond which there were residential and household buildings, as well as a small church. Archaeologists have found the remnants of log buildings, as well as many antiquities from the 10th to the 13th century that speak to extensive trade relations with other parts of Europe, including ancient Russia. In 1209, the forces of Bishop Albert fooled the people in the castle and sacked it and the ancient town that was around it. Visvaldis’ family was taken hostage, and so the Lettigalian ruler was forced to become a vassal of the bishop. The castle hill is privately owned, so please contact the owner before planning a visit. |

The Naujene castle hill is on the steep bank of the Daugava River, is up to 25 metres high and has two valleys on its sides. Between 1275 and 1277, the master of the Livonian Order, Ernst von Ratzenburg, organised the construction of a brick castle to replace a Lettigalian wooden castle that had stood there before. The castle had a drawbridge and an external and internal forecastle. Until the middle part of the 16th century, the castle was the residence of one of the top officials in Dünaburg. The forces of Ivan the Terrible sacked the castle in 1577, after which the location lost its strategic importance. New fortifications were built in the location that is now the city of Daugavpils. Alongside the ruins of the castle is a miniature model that helps to imagine the appearance of the location many centuries ago. A well-appointed pathway leads from the car park to the castle hill. The hill offers one of the loveliest views of the curvy Daugava River and its surrounding nature park. |

Krustpils was first recorded in documents in 1237 in relation to the construction of the Kreutzburg castle on the right bank of the Daugava River. A 1511 document lists it as a village. In 1585, Polish King Stefan Báthory gifted the town to Nicholas Korff, whose family continued to own it until 1920. Battles between Swedish and Polish forces occurred outside of Krustpils in 1626, and the sacked village was in poor shape until the mid-19th century. Jēkabpils, in turn, was constructed as a settlement for Old Believers who were persecuted in Russia. The Daugava has rapids opposite Krustpils and Jēkabpils, which means that boats had to dock there and reload their goods into wagons. The settlement flourished, and in 1670 it was given the rights of a city. It is named after Duke Jacob. When the Rīga-Daugavpils rail line opened in 1861, Krustpils flourished, and Jēkabpils did not flourish. The two cities were administratively merged in 1962, keeping the name of Jēkabpils. There are typical one-story wooden buildings from the 19th century, red brick buildings built at the turn of the 20th century, as well as seven churches used by different denominations. The dam along the left bank of the Daugava was built in 1861, and it was aimed at protecting the city against flooding. Today it is a promenade that is popular among local residents for strolling and leisure. |

An ancient Latgalian settlement. During the 10th century Kraslava district was under authority of the Prince of Polotsk, but the 13th century - under the authority of the Livonian Order. Until the beginning of 18th century it existed as a manor centre. In 1729 Kraslava was bought for 1400 thalers by Johan Ludvig Plater. Plater family ruled Kraslava for two centuries. In the of the18th century Platers began construction of Krāslava palace. After first division of Poland in 1772 Latgale was annexed to Russia. Kraslava began to perish. After construction of Riga - Daugavpils - Vitebsk railway (1865) economic life flourished again. Kraslava was little affected by the World War II, therefore, early wooden buildings of 20th century remained almost untouched. |

The Western breakwater was finished in 1885 and stretches 860 metres into the sea. Together with the Eastern breakwater it regulates the flow of water from the Daugava River into the sea, also reducing silt levels in the river. The structure of the breakwater is based on piles that are strengthened with rocks. The breakwater has been reconstructed and strengthened several times. During the 19th century, it held a prison for offenders. Approximately ½ of the breakwater has been restored with cement, but the rest of it is in fairly sad shape. Polish King Stefan Báthory ordered the construction of a lighthouse alongside the Daugava in 1528, and the first map to show a lighthouse was produced in 1536. A 1721 list of lighthouses in the Russian Empire notes a pile of rocks at the location upon which a fire was lit. Later there were wooden and stone towers that were destroyed during wars. The current Daugavgrīva lighthouse was built in 1957 and is 35 m high. Its light can be seen at a distance of 18 nautical miles. |

Since the 1970s, these ruins have been on a small (100 m long) island that is part of the reservoir of the Rīga hydroelectric power plant. The island is named after St Meinhard and the ruins are part of the oldest stone building in Latvia. Work on the church began in 1184, but it was rebuilt and sacked several times, most recently in 1916. The ruins have been conserved and are protected by a metal cover. The shores of the island have been strengthened. The 10 metre metal cross on the island was designed by E. Samovičs, while the stone altar was sculpted by J. Karlobs. |

Found on the right bank of the Daugava where the little Karikste river flows into the Daugava, all that remains of the castle today is a set of ruined walls and foundations. The castle was built by the Livonian Order in 1224, and it was inhabited until the mid-17th century, when it was sacked during the Polish-Swedish war. The ruins offer a good view of the local gravel road that goes along the right bank of the river valley.

The largest town in South-Eastern Latvia is on the banks of the Daugava River, which is the border between Latvia and Belarus at this location. The border runs down the middle of the river. Piedruja has two parts – Piedruja and Aleksandrova, which are separated by a central street (the V 631 road). Piedruja emerged from the Druja town that was on the left bank of the Daugava. During the 17th century, the two parts were owned by the Stapekha dynasty of Lithuanian aristocrats. It is worth strolling through the town, because the low-level wooden houses are reminiscent of buildings that are exhibited in open-air ethnographic museums. Piedruja is neat and tidy, with two churches and the Daugava rock that are part of a local hiking trails. Aleksandrova has a tourist accommodation, “Piedruja,” which offers special soirées in the Lettigalian, Russian and Belarusian style. Please be aware that you need a temporary permit to enter the border zone. The Border Guard facility is in Piedruja and at a place where there was a Daugava crossing point comparatively recently. |

Found in the western part of Daugavpils and on the banks of the Daugava River, this is almost the only fortress in Northern Europe that has been preserved since the first half of the 19th century. Work on the fortress began in 1810, though it suffered much damage during the war of 1812 and because of flooding in 1829. The fortress was of strategic importance in terms of its location, not least in terms of the battle against Napoleon’s forces. It was consecrated in 1833, though construction work ended nearly half a century later, in 1878. The fort is divided up into squares, with the Parade Field in the centre of the whole fortress. After it lost its strategic importance in 1897, a warehouse was installed there. Prior to World War I, General Jānis Balodis, Colonel Frīdrihs Briedis and others served at the local garrison. In 1912, in honour of the centenary of the aforementioned war, a monument was unveiled in the park of the fortress. During the Soviet occupation, Red Army units took over the fortress, and a technical aviation school was established there. Even today, the fortress is a “city in a city.” It has a residential area, though the buildings are quite shabby. Both inside and outside the fortress are many elements that relate to military issues. Right now fundamental work is being done to reconstruct the buildings, water pipelines and streets of the fortress. The fortifications of the fortress are home to one of the largest colonies of bats in all of Latvia, and it is strictly forbidden to disturb them when they are asleep. Major restoration of the fortress has included the establishment of the Mark Rothko Art Centre. The distinguished artist was born in Daugavpils in 1903, when Latvia was still part of the Russian Empire. |

The Swedish army built a modern fortress during the 1640s with five bastions and two gates. There were 120 cannons and mortar throwers, barracks for soldiers, flats for officers, a garrison church and warehouses for food at munitions. After the Great Northern War in 1710, the fortress was taken over by the Russian army. After the Soviet occupation in 1940, the Soviet navy took over the fortress. Alongside it is a former Soviet army facility with abandoned buildings and a monument to sailors who served in submarines. The fortress is open for tours on Saturdays and Sundays. |

The Dole is the largest island in the Daugava River, surrounded to the Northeast by the rapid waters of the Daugava and to the Southwest by calm and gradually overgrown waters from Dry Daugava. The island is a specially protected nature park, established in 1986 to protect the landscape and cultural and historical values of the island in the wake of the construction of the Rīga hydroelectric power plant, as well as rare and protected species of plants and animals. The island is also meant to provide education and leisure for visitors. Best known on the island is the Daugava Museum, which is in the mansion of the old Dole Estate. The museum features some 13,000 exhibits that speak to the history of the island and the river – Baltic and Livonian apparel, tools and household objects. The exhibition also presents the Daugava as an important waterway and the related history of forms of transport and rafters. In the park is an open-air exhibition with reconstructed lamprey eel traps and a barrier to fish salmon, along with a set of fishing tools. A dolomite cliff is alongside the museum on the steep shore of the Dry Daugava. The ruins of the Vecdole castle can be found on the south-eastern end of the island, near Bēči. |

This is an ancient and important place for trade and craftsmanship on the left shore of the Rīga hydroelectric power plant reservoir. It rises some 15 m above the Daugava River. The Zemgale port that is described in historical documents is thought to have been located alongside the castle hill and at the mouth of the little Varžupīte stream. Antiquities that have been dug up here suggest that the castle hill and its adjoining ancient settlement were populated until the late 12th century, when the importance of Daugmale began to shrink because of rapidly growing Rīga. The foundations of the castle hill have been shored up. |

Found on the right bank of the Daugava, approximately half a kilometre upriver from the Skrīveri Agricultural Institute, the hill is in a place where the bank of the Daugava River Valley is split by the deep Ašķere stream valley. The castle hill was occupied beginning in the first millennium BC, with antiquities from the Lettigalian and Livonian tribes found there. During the 13th century, a brick castle was built on the hill, but it was sacked during the 17th century. Nothing remains of the castle. The castle hill is also known as Raven Hills, and it offers one of the most beautiful views of the central part of the Daugava. In the direction of Rīga, there is a field with a white cross that represents an ancient church. There is a hiking trail along the Ašķere stream. The area is well improved with four trails. The longest is the Daugava trail (10 km). |

The church is on the highest part of the banks of the Marku river, and it is behind the Piedruja border control point. A paved street leads to the church, and it is thought that it was built in the early 20th century by local farmers, who were required to bring stones for the street when they attended worship services. The church has six cupolas and is seen as one of the most beautiful ones in the Krāslava Administrative District. The building was erected between 1883 and 1885 to replace an old 17th century wooden church. It corresponds to the architectural form of the Old Russian town of Vladimir and the Byzantine style. It is said that at one time the church had as many as 1,000 members. |

The museum was established in 1973 and has been in the Kalna Ziedi homestead since 1989. The permanent exhibition is in a building that was erected in 1989 on the foundations of the former home, while the warehouse (1990) was built on the foundations of a cattle shed. The exhibition hall (2000) was built where a granary once stood. The only part of the former farm that remains in place is the cellar, but the placement of the buildings is typical for the layout of a farm in Vidzeme. The collection of the museum speaks to the history of the administrative district, beginning with information about the Stone Age. The open-air exhibition features beehives with marks of belonging, as well as rare round crosses that are monuments to Medieval cemeteries. 100 metres to the Northeast from the museum is the Kalna Ziedi castle hill, while 200 metres to the south are the remains of a sacrificial oak stump that was destroyed in 1994. The location is on the edge of the reservoir of the Pļaviņas hydroelectric power plant and offers a broad view of the plant’s dam and the town of Pļaviņas.

Located on the right bank of the Daugava, the church can be seen from various parts of Piedruja. The first wooden church was built at the instruction of Prince Jan Stapekha in 1632, and it burned down in 1759. The Baroque stone church that is there now was built in 1759 with its two towers, and it may have been designed by an Italian architect. The towers stand 27 m high, and under the church is a cellar. The towers have three bells – the largest one dates back to 1711, the middle-sized one was manufactured in 1896, and the smallest dates back to 1619. The largest bell weighs nearly 0.4 tonnes. Inside the church are many important cultural and historical monuments, including a central wooden altar with a painting of the assumption of Mary, three 18th century altars, a pulpit from the early 19th century, St Anton’s altar, a fresco of the Holy Trinity, church dishes from the 17th century, etc. The building is surrounded by a large garden with a stone fence and stone repositories at the corners of the garden. Two priests, Kazimirs Konvalevskis and Broņeslavs Stefanovičs are buried here. Stefanovičs played a major role in the restoration of the church after World War I. The Piedruja congregation first emerged during the first half of the 17th century. |

In the small town of Pļaviņas, at the place where the Skanstupīte River flows into the Daugava (Friendship Park), there are the remnants of a set of small and low fortifications known as the Swedish bastions. This was a place of military and political importance, because here was the place where the boundaries of Vidzeme (under Swedish rule), Latgale (under Polish rule), and the Duchy of Kurzeme (on the opposite side of the river) all came together. In 1625, the Swedes were defeated by the Poles here, and Swedish King Gustav Adolf almost lost his life. Medieval bastions of this kind can be seen in some other places of Latvia, as well.

In the southern part of Līvāni, where Zemgales Street ends at the Daugava River, there is a fairly unusual and exotic form of transportation – one of three river crossings in Latvia. Unlike the one in Līgatne, this one is operated by a motor, not the flow of the river. It involves a cable across the river, and it is based on Soviet military pontoons that were used to build pontoon bridges for tanks. The crossing point was established by its owners. |
