Description
Join the boat trip on the Mēmele river in the section near Skaistkalne!
The trip will start just above Skaistkalne, and we will paddle down to the Āne – Mēmele manor park. The Mēmele river in this section is a border river—on one bank is Latvia, and on the other is Lithuania!
The trip is scenic, peaceful, and offers an opportunity to explore the rich diversity of Latvia’s aquatic flora. Water plants and reeds will be a constant companion in the river during the summer, however, they do not hinder paddling in this section.
The Mēmele river is one of the rare navigable rivers (by boat) in Zemgale, Augšzeme, and Sēlija regions. Thanks to its status as a border river, it has been spared the fate of the nearby Dienvidsusēja river and has not been exploited by small hydropower plants.
Trip length: 15km
Event duration: ~5-5,5 hours
Time on water: ~4-4,5 hours
Difficulty level: The route is easy, with a gentle current, no fallen trees, and some aquatic plants in the river that do not interfere with boating.
