Te has a glue
Through the snout, through the step …

Recreational park “Priejvanagi”
Recreation park "Priežvanagi" savu aktīvo tūrisma darbību Kantinieku pagastā uzsāka 2019.gada rudenī, piedāvājot interesentiem pavadīt savu brīvo laiku gleznainā vietā Rēzeknes upes krastā priežu meža ielokā. Priežu te ir daudz, bet arī vanagi, kā joko īpašnieks Ivo Keišs, te ir manīti daudz un uzskatāmi par šīs vietas talismaniem. “Priežvanagos” aktīvās atpūtas cienītājiem pieprasīti ir izbraucieni pa upi smailītēs vai vienvietīgos tūrisma kajakos, bet tiem, kas meklē mieru un atpūtu no ikdienas steigas un rutīnas, ir pieejama spēcinoša pirts un karsts kubuls. Vērtējamajā gadā īpaši pieprasītas bija naktsmītnes un viesības mazās, ģimeniskās grupās un, protams, atpūta pie ūdens.
