EuroVelo 11 Véloroute de l'Europe de l'Est

Lettonie

Le trajet de la ville de Valga, à la frontière entre la Lettonie et l'Estonie, à Daugavpils, la deuxième ville de Lettonie, est d'environ 660 km. En roulant sur l'EuroVelo 11, les voyageurs peuvent découvrir le patrimoine et l'histoire culturelle de la Lettonie, visiter des sites touristiques populaires et faire l'expérience de la vie quotidienne des habitants locaux. L'itinéraire traverse plusieurs sites naturels protégés d'importance européenne - parcs nationaux, zones panoramiques et réserve de biosphère. Dans la région centrale, l'itinéraire traverse les villes historiques de Sigulda et Cēsis, deux des plus belles villes du pays. Environ la moitié de la route passe par la région de Latgale, célèbre pour ses lacs, dont le lac Lubāns - le plus grand du pays.

Development status
  • Certifié These sections were awarded the official EuroVelo Certification label, ensuring high-quality cycling conditions.They were surveyed in the field by EuroVelo Route Inspectors to respect minimum requirements for motorised traffic levels, surface quality, EuroVelo signage, and access to services as defined by the European Certification Standard (ECS) methodology. EuroVelo Certified routes are the best options for beginners!
  • Developed + Signed These sections offer generally good cycling conditions, with limited motorised traffic, rideable surfaces, and EuroVelo signs along the route. Developed routes with signs are suitable for most cyclists. However, short stretches with lower-quality conditions may occur, and it is recommended to bring a map or navigation app as signs can have defects.
  • Developed + Not Signed These sections offer generally good cycling conditions, with limited motorised traffic and rideable surfaces, but without EuroVelo signs. Developed routes without signs are suitable for most cyclists. However, short stretches with lower-quality conditions may occur, and it is warmly recommended to bring a map or navigation app.
  • Partially Developed + Signed Cycling is possible here, but conditions vary. Some stretches may have high motorised traffic or poor surfaces, even though EuroVelo signs are in place. Partially developed routes with signs are suitable for experienced cyclists only, and it is recommended to bring a map or navigation app and check national/regional websites for more information. ECF and National EuroVelo Coordination Centres are working on improvements.

  • Undeveloped / Unknown These sections do not meet minimum requirements for motorised traffic levels or surface quality – or their conditions are currently unknown. They may include dangerous stretches. Cyclists choosing to cycle there should use a map or navigation app and check national/regional websites for more information. It is recommended to use public transport to skip these areas where possible.
  • Connection en transports en commun These sections include continuity across seas or rivers and undeveloped parts of the network that can be skipped with a reliable public transport connection allowing bicycle transport.
