	The Meru oak tree	This tree is the one in Latvia and perhaps the Baltic States that has the densest foliage. Its crown measures 33 x 31 metres.
	The remaining fragment of the Zauskas pine tree	In 1951, when it died, the pine tree had a circumference of 4.63 metres. It was the thickest pine tree in the Baltic States This is one of the few trees with such a long history for which age has been determined by counting up circles – 370 years. All that’s left is a conserved part of the stump at the side of the road. Cross-sections of the stump are on exhibit at the Latvian Museum of Nature and the Latvian Ethnographic Open-Air Museum.
	The Sausupju birch tree	This is the thickest birch (Betula pendula) tree in Latvia and can be seen from the Klapkalnciems-Milzkalne road.
	The Glika oak trees	This is one of the rare cases in which we know precisely when the trees were planted. It was in 1685 and 1689, and they were planted by the priest of the local congregation, Ernest Johann Glück (1654-1705) in commemoration of the fact that he had completed the translation into Latvian of the Old Testament and the New Testament respectively.
	The Zentenes yew tree	This is the thickest and tallest common ivy in Latvia. It is in the park of the Zentene Estate, opposite the mansion (which is now a school).
	The Dzenisu willow tree	This is certainly the thickest White Willow (Salix alba) in Latvia and perhaps the thickest one in the Baltic States. Many of its mighty branches are resting on the ground, and the enormous monolithic trunk has been split. There’s a small information stand alongside the tree. A pathway which starts at the Raganu cliffs can be taken to the tree.
	The mighty oak tree of Kvepene	After the death of the Kalnasikšņi oak tree, which was the mightiest tree in the Gauja National Park, the mighty Kvēpene oak tree has taken over that role. It has a circumference of 6.1 m, a height of 20 m, and a crown which measures 28 x 30 m. The beautiful tree is on the right bank of the Gauja River valley and is one of the most excellent trees in Latvia. Near it is the forested Kvēpene castle hill, as is the Svētavots stream, which is reputed to have medicinal waters. To the North of the castle hill is the Rūsiņš hillock, which offers a good view of the surrounding forests, the towers of the city of Cēsis, Ieriķi, and the Rakšupe estuary at the Gauja. There is a bench at the top of the hillock from which lovely sunsets can be seen.
	The Vicezu ash tree	A very beautiful and expressive tree, it is found on the land of what was once the Vīceži Semi-estate.
	The Zilenu ash tree	This is the thickest European Ash (Fraxius excelsior) in Latvia and the Baltic States. The homestead where the tree is found is the memorial museum of the painter Ģederts Eliass, and for that reason, the tree is sometimes also known as the Eliass ash tree.
