Dinaburg trail goes up and down to finally reach the steep bank of the river Daugava, where Naujene (Vecpils) mound is located. By the way, this place is considered to be the founding site of Daugavpils. The ruins of the castle have been preserved, with the unique open-air model of the Dinaburg Castle. The object is located in the territory of Daugavas Loki Nature Park.

The trail offers a great opportunity to experience the knights’ environment – bridges,  springs, steep slopes, narrow paths, a true medieval spirit, and magnificent nature. At the foot of the castle, the mound has been an old settlement. On the way back, after crossing the bridge, you will reach the place of the former Vecpils Cemetery marked by three white crosses.

The trail is about 1 km long. In 2016, the trail was restored. Upon climbing up and down (the total length of the stairs is over 300 meters!), You can take a breath and take a meal at the recreation area “Knights’ glade”, located nearby.

Excursion offer “The Stone Dinaburg Livonian Order’s Castle”
