	The Kandavas pear tree	This is the thickest wild pear tree in Latvia. The tree is particularly beautiful when it is blossoming.
	The Balozu juniper	This is the thickest common juniper (Juniperus communis) in Latvia and the Baltic States. It stands in the middle of a field and looks wonderful. The tree is sometimes known as the Rieteklis juniper, because the Latvian poet Rieteklis (Jūlijs Eduars Balodis, 1856-1940) like to sit under 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 Great Pine of Bigaunciems	The Great Pine of Bigauņciems outside the Dižpriede café,
	The Ives spruce	This is the thickest and mightiest Norwegian spruce (Picea abies) in Latvia. Its monolithic trunk, with its small holes, is unusual. The tree is in the overgrown park of the former Īve Estate, behind the ruins of the mansion.
	The Vaidavas pine tree	This tree, too, was supposedly planted by the king of Sweden – and upside down, no less.
	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 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 Sausupju birch tree	This is the thickest birch (Betula pendula) tree in Latvia and can be seen from the Klapkalnciems-Milzkalne road.
