If you want an easy trip, then driving around Latvia is the best thing. And we often. It is surprising that our “Kroods family” has never made it to Latgale, a region of lakes and meadows. And this oversight had to be urgently corrected - last weekend we overcame the route Riga-Jekabpils-Daugavpils-Aglona-Preili.
And this time, the company helps us SIXT- a car and bicycle rental company that kindly agreed to help the site travel around the far and near Baltic world.
At our disposal was a smart Ford Focus 2016 , moreover, they gave it to us in ten minutes with all the documents! In order not to return to the topic of transport, I’ll tell you right away: the car is light, fast, drives economically and is absolutely ideal for city driving. There is only one drawback in it - a very compact interior. It’s enough for the three of us, but for a bigger family and a bigger car is better.
The main destination is Daugavpils, which is 230 kilometers from Riga. Not God knows how far, but a pregnant woman and Small child can complicate and much more short route, so it was decided to get in two stages. On Friday evening, drive to Jekabpils, spend the night, and in the morning rush to Daugavpils. No sooner said than done!
Jekabpils. Ghost town with good taste
You can’t find a dozen offers from hotels and restaurants here - not the scale, so we stopped at the very popular place – Hotel Luze, which is also Hercogs Jēkabs Hotel.
I can say right away that this is not five stars and definitely not a Sheraton, but pleasant service, a rather original interior, in which a remake coexists with real antiques, and great view to the river from the hotel room - at dawn, thick fog creeps along the Daugava and there is amazing silence.
In the evening on the weekend it is noisy near the hotel - two steps away night club in which people come from somewhere, but in the morning - grace.
Jekabpils is a small city, only 23,000 inhabitants, who are also separated by the Daugava. By the way, there used to be two cities here: on one side of the Jakobstadt River, on the other - Kreuzburg. Now this is all Jekabpils and its history is a little less than 780 years old.
In 1919, life was in full swing in Jekabpils - district administrative institutions were transferred here from Jaunjelgava, the food industry and the production of building materials were developed, and in 1932 the largest sugar factory at that time was built.
But as always, “... we are ours, we new world let's build” turned out that the city gradually withered away and by this moment turned into almost a ghost town, where shabby walls are hidden behind cheerful drawings.
In Jekabpils, as befits a provincial town, it is quiet, dead and deserted. For lovers of antiquity, I can recommend going to the territory of Krustpils Castle, but for everyone else - definitely Mans's art gallery- which has no analogues even in Riga.
Canvases of Latvian artists are regularly exhibited here, which come to see or purchase from all over Latvia and Russia. Here is such an element of good taste in the Latvian hinterland.
The gallery is private and does not cooperate with the state - it was a sad experience. Therefore, on the second floor, paintings by artists alternate with souvenir shelves and even stands of cosmetics, branded, by the way - you have to somehow earn money for rent.
But back to beauty. Until the end of May, a personal exhibition of Pēteris Postaž, a 76-year-old artist, professor and teacher at the Latvian Academy of Arts, will be held on the ground floor. Then it will be replaced by another artist.
And on the second floor there is a “hodgepodge” of paintings and works by Latvian craftsmen made of porcelain and clay. I absolutely fell in love with the creations of the artist Zane Luse.
By the way, the gallery is fundamental not only in its work only on a private basis, but also in the selection of collections - only artists with academic education are selected for exhibitions. Amateurs and self-taught people may not even try to claim a “place in the sun” in this gallery.
The city itself is, of course, poor in terms of impressions, so it makes no sense to linger. Moreover, Daugavpils is still one and a half hundred kilometers away, where a rich program is planned, and the weekend, alas, is not rubber!
