Daugava Field Notes

Route notebook

Three ways to read the river.

Stone and water

A compact city walk for overcast days: the old railway bridge, the market roofs and the broad bend beyond the library.

7 km · paved · exposed to wind

Island morning

A slower loop across low ground where the skyline repeatedly disappears behind reeds and willow.

5 km · mixed surface · best after dry weather

North-bank dusk

A straight evening route with open western light and frequent places to stop without leaving the river.

9 km · paved · minimal elevation
