Travel Guide Pays Des Lacs Bleus

The Daugavpils-Rēzekne road passes through a beautiful region known as the Blue Lake Country. It is also the region of the Latvian highlands (the highest point is Lielais Liepukalns, 289 m). With its many lakes, lovers of idleness will find a wonderful haven of peace and among the most beautiful landscapes of Latvia. Near the lakes Cirsa and Egles, the small town of Aglona became since the 17th century the center of Latvian Catholicism; its church is a place of pilgrimage for the faithful who flock there on August 15. By pushing until the border post of Zilupe, you will be able to contemplate the infinite horizon of the plains of Russia.
