Der Naturpark im Tal der Daugava ist der einzige Ort zwischen den Kaskaden der Wasserkraftwerke, wo man noch die Chance hat, das Flusstal der Daugava und die Schluchten der Nebenflüsse so zu sehen, wie sie waren, bevor das Gebiet geflutet und die Kraftwerke gebaut wurden. Einen besonders schönen Blick hat man vom rechten Flussufer in der Nähe von Kirche und Burgberg von Aizkraukle. Wälder, Wiesen, Flussquellen und kleine Dolomitfelsen sind in dieser Region alles geschützte Biotope. Freizeitangebote gibt es auf dem Burgberg von Aizkraukle, die Schloßruinen von Aizkraukle sind nicht weit entfernt.

The main goal of the Vestiena protected landscape area is to protect the landscape values in the Vidzeme highlands. The protected area is in the middle of the Vidzeme highlands with the highest and most prominent relief, including Gaiziņkalns, the highest spot in the country. The many lakes found in the area - Viešūrs, Talejas, Kāls, Pulgosnis and others – not only add to the variety of the landscape, but also offer tourism and recreation options. The Vestiena protected landscape area encloses several other especially protected/Natura2000 sites – the Gaiziņkalna nature park, the island of the lake Kāla, the lake Ilziņa restricted natural area. Among the most interesting tourist attractions are the Vestiena estate, the Piekūnu wandering trails, the Gaiziņkalna nature trail. The area is rich in landscapes, however, there are no viewing spots or towers installed to observe the landscape. On the top of the Gaiziņkalns, the Latvia’s highest spot, there still stands the wreck of the former viewing tower.
