About the Route
Starting from Plācis, this route follows the lower Brasla through its most active section before finishing at the dramatic confluence with the Gauja. The river here has consistent current and regular small rapids, more exciting than the upper sections but still manageable with basic river skills. Dense forest lines both banks throughout, and the river's spring-fed clarity makes every stretch a pleasure. The finale at the Brasla-Gauja confluence, where two national park rivers meet, is a memorable natural landmark. A great full-day route for those who prefer their paddling with some pace and energy.
