The barrow which offers a good view is at the northern end of the Dunduri meadows – at the end of Melnragi. It is an artificial barrow which follows along with the bed of the little Slampe River. The meadows are home to livestock allowed to live in the wild, and you can see a bit of the restored Slampe. The view is particularly interesting during flooding season, when the surrounding wetlands become saturated. This is a location for bird-watching.

To the East of the Ezermuiža-Dūmele road you will find the bed of the ancient Lake Dieviņezers. It was one of the largest lakes in Kurzeme in the past, being 7.5 km long and 1.6 km wide. A canal was dug in 1838 (Melnsilupe River today), and the water from the lake was siphoned to the sea so as to create fertile farmland. Residents of Ezermuiža have been involved in forestry work since the age when barons ruled the land. Dūmele is connected to Košrags by a lonely forest road that is known as the Bottom Road. A bike route runs down it. The Ziedkalni weekend house is in Dūmele. The "Ziedkalni" homestead in Dūmele offers spa services, cod fishing and accommodations. |

This section of the Forest Trail leads through the entire Gauja National Park and gives an opportunity to see all the most beautiful places and sights of this national park of more than 100 km. Gauja National Park is the oldest and largest national park in Latvia. The ancient valley of the River Gauja is the deepest river valley in the Baltic states. The banks of the River Gauja reveal colourful sandstone outcrops, which are reflected in the water. The sights are most wonderful in springtime, when bird cherry trees are in full bloom, and in autumn, as the trees turn red and yellow. The ancient valley of the River Gauja has a distinctive terrain relief that can fluctuate by up to 80 m. The largest part of the road leads through forest paths, along the river, and exits the woods in Līgatne and Sigulda. Almost half of the park is covered by forest. Gauja National Park is known for the great diversity of specially protected forests, featuring herbaceous spruce forests, slope and ravine forests, as well as mixed broadleaf forests. |

Auffällig sind die beiden 60m hohen Türme des im Barockstil erbauten Gotteshaus. Die Kanzel, der Orgelprospekt, die Orgel und ein Beichtstuhl stammen aus dem 18. Jh., die Seitenaltäre vom Beginn des 19. Jh. Im zentralen Teil des Altars befindet sich das Gemälde „Die wundertätige Gottesmutter von Aglona aus dem 17.Jh., dem Heilkräfte zugesagt werden, daher wird es nur zu bedeutenden Zeiten gezeigt. Vor dem Besuch des römischen Papstes Johannes Paul II in Lettland im Jahre 1993 fanden umfangreiche Renovierungs- und Umbauarbeiten am Kirchenkomplex statt. Alljährlich kommen am 15. August Pilger nach Aglona, um das Fest Mariä Himmelfahrt zu feiern. Etwa 100m von der Basilika befindet sich die heilige Quelle Aglonas Svētavots. |

Der Park des Gutes Ilzenbergas, so wie er heute besteht, geht auf eine Anlage der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts zurück. Die Struktur wird durch das deutliche Relief zwischen den Seen Ilgis und Apvalasas geprägt. Bei der Rekonstruktion wurde Wert darauf gelegt, die räumliche Gliederung unverändert zu belassen. Der Park umfasst ein Territorium von 10 ha und besteht aus zwei Teilen. Zum einen das annähernd rechteckige Gelände am Herrenhaus, eingerahmt von einer Reihe Winterlinden und mit Grünanlagen aus einheimischen und fremdländischen Gehölzen. Zum anderen aus naturnahem, waldartigen Grünanlagen. Die größte in diesem Park wachsende Eiche wurde als staatlich geschütztes Naturerbe eingetragen. Dieser mächtige Baum hat einen Stammumfang von 6,3 m, einen Durchmesser von 2 m und eine Höhe von 30,5 m. |
