The most important aspects of this park are a shallow lagoon-type lake – Lake Pape, with its flood land meadows, the shore of the Baltic Sea, the Nida swamp, and the more than 270 different types of birds that have been spotted here. The oldest bird ringing station in Latvia (est. 1966) is found between Lake Pape and the Baltic Sea. Birds and bats are caught and ringed there. Lake Pape is the first place in Latvia where so-called “wild” horses (the “Konik” breed) were released with the aim of managing the flood land meadows.

Науенское городище находилось на крутом правом берегу долины Даугавы на высоте 25 м, между двумя оврагами. Под руководством магистра Ливонского ордена Эрнеста фон Раценбурга в 1275 - 1277 гг. на месте прежнего латгальского деревянного замка возводится каменный замок. До середины XVI века замок служит резиденцией комтура Динабурга. В 1577 году войска Ивана Грозного полностью разрушили замок. После этого события Динабург теряет свое стратегическое значение, и строительство новых укреплений начинается в том месте, где сейчас находится Даугавпилс.Рядом с развалинами замка ордена установлен уменьшенный макет замка. С места автостоянки до городища можно дойти по тропе. С городища открывается один из красивейших видов на изгибы Даугавы. |

Latvia’s highest hill is the second highest in the Baltic States, but alas, it has only a wrecked viewing tower, so you’ll have to look for the best views on your own. You’ll find some around the tower and the ski trails, particularly Large and Small Golgotha. It is worth hiking the Gaiziņkalns nature trail.
