Lake Lubāns

Lake Lubāns lies in the lowlands of eastern Latvia, a broad and shallow expanse among rivers and wetlands. The Rēzekne, Malta, Malmuta and Lisiņa bring water into its basin, while the Aiviekste carries its outflow towards the Daugava. The lake's surface changes with the height of the water, and its low shores are particularly vulnerable to spring floods. Together the lake and its tributaries form a watery landscape linking the inland country of Latgale with the Daugava river system.
