This year, the “Latgale Hiking Days” cycle will begin on May 5th and conclude on October 6th. In total, there are 10 hiking trips planned, primarily along Latvia’s longest marked hiking trail – the “Ezertaka” trail, which spans approximately 1107 kilometers through nature.

Registration for the hikes is announced approximately 3 weeks before the hike and is posted on the “Ezertaka” Facebook page.

Typically, each hike is approximately 20-25 kilometers long.
