What to expect ...

Experience an unforgettable journey through the heart of Aizkraukle region — a region where nature, creativity, and authentic Latvian flavours come alive.

 

Begin your adventure at Farm Ragāres – a magical spot where over 100 kinds of herbs, medicinal plants, and decorative greenery flourish. Their organic farming tradition goes back decades, and you can feel it in every corner — from the hand-picked teas to the hand-harvested berries.

 

Continue to Radada, a vibrant creative space that celebrates local design, playful ideas, and modern Latvian style. It’s the perfect place to discover unique souvenirs and feel the pulse of contemporary countryside creativity.

 

Next, treat yourself to a delicious stop at Skrīveri Home-Made Ice-Cream, a beloved family business known for its unforgettable flavours — from traditional classics to beautifully unexpected taste adventures. Every scoop is a story of craftsmanship and love.

 

Then set out on the Daugava aboard the charming boat “Balta kaza”. Glide along peaceful river landscapes, enjoy the fresh air, and experience the region from a completely new and magical perspective.

 

Visit the Koknese Tourism Information Centre to uncover even more hidden gems and pick up local treasures before ending your day with a warm and cosy dinner at Olalā! — a lively spot where great food, friendly atmosphere, and beautiful memories come together.
