The three lake Ludza city boat route
There is a reason why some call Ludza a capital city of lakes because the town is surrounded by five of them. Local entrepreneurs from the company “Atpūta Ludzā” which is located on the shore of lake Zvirgzdenes offer a boat route around the city. You can get to know the city by walking tours, but getting to know it and seeing it from the water is something more interesting. The route leads through lake Zvirgzdene to a little river Plītnīca which enters The Small Ludza lake and then to The Great Ludza lake.
