Latgale

In Latgale you can marvel at the beauty of lakes, birch forests, migrating birds and white clouds. Escape from the noisy city, to a place where people sincerely welcome their guests with traditional hospitality, where peaceful mornings greet the sunrise, where cornflowers blossom on hilltops.

Latgale is known for its rolling landscape and many lakes. As a result it is sometimes referred to as "the land of blue lakes" Here are two of Latvia’s largest lakes: Lubāns and Rāzna.

Latgale is a region with its own strong traditions, and a unique history which has been influenced by neighbouring countries. Latgale is so different from the rest of Latvia that it sometimes feels like another country.

Latgalians have strong traditions in pottery and baking as well as numerous religions - Catholics, Lutherans, Orthodox and Old Believers live side by side. Latgale is also called the land of Mara or Mary. Its most sacred place is Aglona Basilica where every year thousands of piligrims gather.

Suggested itineraries

Exciting LatgaleLīvāni – Jersika – Nīcgale – Višķi – Aglona – Bērzgale – Preiļi – Rēzekne – Malnava – Kārsava – Baltinava – Viļaka – Balvi – Lazdukalns – Īdeņa – Spundžāni – Rāzna

The route unravels the charm of Latgale by offering an opportunity to look into the ridged colourful mirrors of Livani glass and the worsteds of the longest belt in Latvia, see the largest Latvian boulder – the great stone of Nicgale and visit the centre of Catholic faith – Aglona.
