	The Kandavas pear tree	This is the thickest wild pear tree in Latvia. The tree is particularly beautiful when it is blossoming.
	The Niglini linden tree	An impressive two-trunk tree at the Nigliņi homestead, this is one of the most impressive trees on the Liv Shore. The Liv language teacher Zoja Sīle was born here. The Medieval Old Cemetery Hill – once used as burial grounds – is nearby.
	The Sejas oak tree	This tree is in the park of the Sēja Estate and is one of the four trees in Latvia that have a circumference of more than four metres.
	The Kaive Oak	Most of the great tree’s mighty branches are gone, and among those that are still there, the thickest ones are held up by supports, and the tree’s hollow centre is protected against snow and rain with a little roof. This is the thickest Common Oak (Quercus robur) in Latvia and the Baltic States. Indeed, it is one of the thickest oak trees in all of Northern Europe. The tree is a gorgeous part of the surrounding landscape. There is a car park and an information stand nearby.
	The Sasmaka idolatry lime tree of Valdemarpils	This is Latvia’s largest small-leaved lime tree (Tilia cordata). Some of its mighty branches are held up by supports. There are large holes in the trunk that have been covered up to prevent water entering the holes and causing even more rot. Just like many other trees of this size, this was a sacred tree in the past
	The Kanepju oak tree	This is the second thickest tree in Latvia and the Baltic States. There is a large and open hole in the trunk of the tree. Like most trees of its size, it has suffered lightning damage. The tree is a wonderful part of the landscape, and a little wooden fence has been put up around it.
	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 Rigzemju oak tree	The tree is in the middle of an untended field. Despite many dead branches and the messy surroundings, the tree is beautiful and well visible from the road. It is the third thickest tree in the Baltic States.
	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.
