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. |

The oldest elements of the Oleri Estate date back to the 17th century. Initially there was a wooden mansion with an ancillary building. The new centre was built in the late 18th century in the style of Early Classicism. After agrarian reforms, the mansion housed an elementary school, and during the Soviet occupation and until the 1970s it was a school for children with mental disorders. The mansion suffered in a fire in 2000, after which it was restored. A local organisation was of great importance in this regard. The mansion is known for its Classicist paintings, with a unique “Painting Gallery.” The mansion is surrounded by a lovely park. The Oleri Estate is known for hosting chamber music concerts. The local Oleri swamp has a wooden pathway and a little viewing tower. |

Atrodas Kraujā – Daugavas ielejas krasta malā un nogāzēs. Atrodama informācija, ka šajā vietā Livonijas kara laikā atradusies krievu karaspēka nometne. Muižas nosaukums cēlies no vācu Hof zum Berg – „Kalnu muiža”. Pēdējie muižas īpašnieki līdz 1. pasaules karam bija grāfu Šahno dzimtas pārstāvji. Viens no tiem – Marians Šahno 1910. gadā uzceļ muižas pili, kas bija būvēta eklektisma formās. Daļēji nojaukta tā pārdzīvo padomju laikus, līdz 2002. gadā nodeg. Līdz mūsdienām saglabājušās vien ēkas sienas, kuras slēpj biezs augājs. Var tikai iedomāties, kādi skati šeit kādreiz pavērušies uz Daugavas ieleju! Muižas parks ir vietējo iedzīvotāju pastaigu vieta. |
