Die Käserei von Rauna gehört der Familie Ceriņš, die schon 10 Jahre den Käufern 23 qualitative und hochwertige  Produkte – Käse, Butter und Röhrennudeln anbietet. Das beliebteste Erzeugnis der Käserei ist der Käse „Zaļais”. Einer der Hauptinhaltsstoffe dieses Produkts ist der Käseklee, der in eigenem Garten angepflanzt wird. Der Käseklee ist eine einjährige krautige Pflanze. Geerntet werden die grünen oberirdischen Pflanzenteile, die in einem mit Holz beheizten Trockner getrocknet werden. Nach dem Abtrocknen werden die Pflanzenteile gemahlen, durchgesiebt und einer Eiweißmasse zugesetzt. Diese Masse wird dünnschichtig in die extra angefertigten Holzkasten geschüttet und getrocknet. Nach der Anfügung des Käseklees erhielt das Produkt ein ausgeprägter Geschmack, Duft und Farbe des Käse „Zaļais”. Nach  vorheriger Vereinbarung können die Gruppen (min. 10 Personen) die Käserei besichtigen und mit einem bekanntmachen.

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.

Cēsis is in the centre of the Gauja National Park, but it is not part of the park as such. There are many interesting places in Cēsis to visit and examine. The oldest part of the town is of key interest. The origins of Cēsis can be found at Riekstu hill, which is 18 metres high. Between the 11th and 13th century, there was a wooden castle here built by the Vendians. The hill is in the central part of the castle park, and it offers a good view of the park, pond and the ruins of the Cēsis castle, which can be accessed via a long cascade of stairs. The Cēsis castle (see below) was built in the early 13th century as a residence for masters of the Livonian Order, and it was one of the strongest fortresses in the Baltic territories. Alongside it is the New Cēsis castle, which was built in 1777 where the gate fortifications once stood. The Cēsis Museum of History and Art is in the building, alongside which is a visitors centre and the Cēsis Tourism Information Centre. From the tower of the castle, there is a fine view of the castle ruins, St John's Lutheran church and the northern part of the town. Opposite the New Cēsis castle are stables and a wheelhouse (both from the first half of the 19th century). The Cēsis Exhibition Hall is there today. You can look at the exteriors of the granary, the hut for coachmen, and the old brewery. On the other side of the street is the romantic Maija park, which was installed in the 1830s. The park is popular among parents with children, because there is a playground there. From this area, you can walk down some of the old streets of the town – Lielās Katrīnas, Mazās Katrīnas, Mazā Kalēju, Kalēju and Lielā Līvu streets, plus Līvu Square. The wooden buildings along the streets date back to the late 18th and early 19th century. Torņa Street, which weaves its way along the defensive walls of the Medieval castle, offers a look outside the church of a sculpture by Matiass Jansons, "As the Centuries Pass". Legend says that if you rub the lantern carred by the Old Man of Time, you can see the future. One of the most impressive buildings in Cēsis is St John's Lutheran Church, which was built in the late 13th century for the Livonian Order. It is a basilica built in the Roman style and with Gothic elements. The tower, which is 65 m high, was built in 1853. The building was reconstructed several times during the 20th century. Inside the building are grave epitaphs for masters of the Livonian Order and for bishops. The pulpit was installed in 1748, the oak altar followed in 1858, and the altar painting "The Crucified One" dates back to 1862. The stained glass windows around the altar are of great artistic value. The organ was built in 1907 by the E.F. Walker Company, and the instrument is one of the best concert organs in Latvia. A sun clock featuring the year 1744 is at the south-western corner of the church. It is worth climbing the church's tower. At the foot of the building is Rose Square, which began as a market square in the mid-19th century, remained in place until 1927, and was restored in 2008. This is the central square in the town today. During the Medieval Era, there were stockades here, along with the city's well. Rīgas Street has been the main street of the old town from the very beginning, and it is here that you will find the most architecturally outstanding buildings in town from the 18th and 19th centuries. They include the former Cēsis City Hall, the Fābers building, and the Princess building. At one end of the street is Līvu Square, where, during the 13th century, there was a church, a cemetery and a gate in the town walls. Today the square features a lighted fountain which is on the site of a 13th century well known as Lejas Šķimbēgs. At the other end of the street is a reconstruction of the foundations and surface elements of the Rauna gate that was a part of the town walls in the 14th and 15th centuries. The site offers a good idea about Medieval fortifications and the size and mightiness of gates therein.

The Preiļi Estate is in the southern part of Preiļi. During the Soviet era, the mansion was home to a variety of institutions. A fire burned much of the upper part of the building in 1978. The mansion was never restored, and it can only be viewed from the outside. Around it, however, is one of Latvia’s most outstanding landscape parks (mid-19^th century). Irēna Kjarkuža offers interesting tours of the state, with interesting legends and songs in the Lettigalian language.

Bis zum 13. Jh. gehörte der Kreis von Smiltene zu dem von den Letgallen bewohnten Land Tālava. Nach der Invasion der Kreuzritter hat den Kreis der Erzbischof von Riga bekommen und am steilen Ufer des Flusses Abuls hat er im Jahr 1370 eine Burg gebaut. Die nachfolgenden Kriege und Seuchen haben weder die Bebauung der Ortschaft, noch die Einwohner geschützt. Die heutigen Konturen der Stadt begannen sich am Ende des 19. Jhs. mit den aktiven Tätigkeiten des Barons von Lieven – des Landgutinhabers von Smiltene – zu bilden. Bis zum Ersten Weltkrieg arbeitete in Smiltene eine Holzverarbeitungsfabrik, ein Wasserkraftwerk (1901, das erste in den Baltischen Ländern) und andere Unternehmen. Als sich im Jahr 1944 die deutschen Streitkräfte zurückgezogen haben, wurde in einem Brand der größte Teil der historischen Bebauung der Stadt zerstört.
