N/A

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.
N/A
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

This is the thickest European wild apple tree in Latvia. It is just lovely when it is blossoming.
N/A
This is Latvia’s thickest common pine (Pinus slyvestris)

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).
N/A
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.
N/A
The Great Pine of Bigauņciems outside the Dižpriede café,
N/A
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.
N/A
The Oak of Kemeri which grows in front of the Pienenīte preschool on Tukums Street is of local importance and is protected.
