Description
Rather significant tributary of the upper reaches of the River Iecava, and the name of the river (‘Holy River’) draws attention by the researchers. There are no cult sites on its banks that would be known. Maybe the river itself was deemed holy, but maybe it was a boundary river.
Narrative
Only the name of the river, which allows relating the river with ancient sites, but it shall yet be clarified.
Attraction
Well seen from the Valle – Jaunjelgava road, where it crosses the road through a culvert. Otherwise the river flows through forest and marsh areas.
Availability
Well seen in a small area, but should one wish to see the whole river, this could turn into an extreme adventure.
Infrastructure, management, facilities
No tourism infrastructure. Located rather far from the nearest town – Vecumnieki.
