	The Kandavas pear tree	This is the thickest wild pear tree in Latvia. The tree is particularly beautiful when it is blossoming.
	The Meru oak tree	This tree is the one in Latvia and perhaps the Baltic States that has the densest foliage. Its crown measures 33 x 31 metres.
	The Araisu pine tree	This is an unusually shaped pine which, according to legend, was planted by the king of Sweden during the Great Northern War.
	The Dambju oak tree	The tree is on the side of a hillock, and its visible roots are unusually huge.
	The Vaidavas pine tree	This tree, too, was supposedly planted by the king of Sweden – and upside down, no less.
	The Allu (Tiltinu) pine tree	This is Latvia’s thickest common pine (Pinus slyvestris)
	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 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.
