It is worth hiking this road where in crosses the Šlītere Blue Hills. This part of the road is approximately one kilometre long, and it goes down to the valley of the stream which crosses the hills. The place has been given a peculiar name – the Kušperlankgrāvis ravine (or the Zeltiņi ravine, as is claimed in other sources). If you're driving, be careful, because there is no bridge here, just a ford. During the early spring or the winter, you will appreciate the ravines and the impressive Blue Hills themselves. Impressive sandstone cliffs which are several metres high and have been vandalised by human hands are on both sides of the road. There is a small niche in one of the cliffs. To the right (East) from the road at the terrace of the Blue Hills is a side road which leads to the Mežlīdumi homestead. Please be gentle with the cliffs! |

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.

In 1685, a military leader from Krakow, Belinsky, paid for the construction of a wooden church in the current location. It was restored in 1749 and lasted until 1887, when it burned down during a storm. A church with two steeples was designed in the Gothic style, and construction of it began one year later. The church was consecrated in 1904 and is one of the most impressive churches in Latvia. Attention should be paid to stained glass windows that feature images of St Meinhard and Albert. Alongside the church is the centre of the Rēzekne-Aglona diocese, which is the seat of the local bishop. |

The Lašu castle hill is 0.2 km from the Vecumnieki-Ilūkste road at Laši. It is an ancient Selonian castle hill, and it was populated between the 1st millennium BC and the 10th or 12th century. Very little remains of the old Veclaši (Tiesenhausen) Estate, which had an impressive mansion designed in the Neo-Gothic style in the late 19th century. What remains are an ancillary building, the foundations of the mansion, fragments of the gates, and a park. Until 1920, the estate belonged to the Pshezdzetski dynasty, and before that it was owned by the Tiesenhausen and Fittinghoff dynasties. Before visiting the location, look for photographs of the old mansion on the Internet. Sadly, the important cultural monument has not experienced any major improvements over the past 20 years.

To the North of the Cesvaine Castle is a park that is crossed by the rapidly flowing Sūla River. The Cesvaine castle hill is on the northern bank of the river, is around 15 m high and is covered by trees today. The grave of the owner of the castle, Adolf von Wolff, is there. It is said that he wanted to have his casket dragged to the gravesite on a sled. He died during the summer, but that was done anyway. The park features a wide diversity of trees and bushes, some of which the owner brought home from his extensive travels. |

The Livonian Order built a fortified castle on the largest island in Lake Alūksne – Marijas Island (Pilssala Island) in 1342. It was linked to the land by a 120 m drawbridge. The castle had several forecastles, and it was regularly modernised and expanded until the end of the 17th century. It was one of the largest Livonian Order Castles, with similar ones found in Vastelina and Izborsk. Defensive barriers were put up around the castle, which survived until the Great Northern War. Its central part was blown up by the defeated Swedish military in 1702, after which Russians completely sacked it. All that is left are the castle ruins on the island, which is now linked to Alūksne and Temple Hill by two wooden bridges. An open-air stage alongside the castle ruins is used for various public events. |

Rekovas dzirnavas ir unikāla vieta pašā austrumu pierobežā. “Pirmajā stāvā bija miltu malšana un otrajā stāvā apstrādāja vilnu. Dzirnavas pastāvēja līdz 1980.gadam. Vēlāk ēka nevienam nepiederēja, lietus ietekmē iebruka jumts un faktiski viss bija sadrupis. 2016.gadā zemnieku saimniecības “Kotiņi” saimniekam Aldim Ločmelim radās iespēja iegādāt ēku un saliekot galvas kopā, radās ideja, ka ēkā varētu būt vietējās produkcijas veikaliņš.” Majestātiskā trīsstāvu pamatīgu laukakmeņu mūra ēka, kas atrodas pašā Balvi-Viļaka ceļa malā, ir sākusi dzīvot jaunu dzīvi, kur ikvienam ir iespēja nobaudīt vietējo Latgales produktu garšu dažādā izpildījumā. Dzirnavu saimniece - viena no īstajām latvju saimniecēm Vija Kuļša uzņem tūristu grupas, kurām piedāvā nobaudīt vietējo Latgales produktu garšu dažādā izpildījumā. Ēdienkarte sastāv no piedāvājuma vegāniem, veģetāriešiem un klasiskās ēdienkartes. Viena no galvenajām ēdienu sastāvdaļām ir zs “Kotiņi’’ ražotā produkcija. Ir iespēja pieteikt un darboties arī Meistarklasēs. Tiek piedāvāvāts ēdiens no linsēklām, linu eļļa, dažādi salāti, ko var gatavot ar linu eļļu. Linsēklas izmanto pašu ceptā maizītē, sāļajā baltmaizē ar linsēklām. Linsēklas Rekovas dzirnavu ēdienkartē ir tikai viena no izejvielām, bet tieši tās ir centrālais varonis jaunajā Ziemeļlatgales kultūrvēsturiskā tūrisma piedāvājumā “Linu ceļš Ziemeļlatgalē”. |
