Several of the buildings of the Šlītere Semi-Estate have survived to the present day – the servants' house (late 19th century), the pump house (mid-19th century), the smokehouse (mid-19th century), the cattle barn, etc. A forestry building was built here in 1936 and renovated in 2010. Since the end of 2009, the administration of the Slītere National Park has been housed here. Today the building also houses the Kurzeme regional branch of the Environmental Protection Board. Opposite the building are two yews, and there is a productive ivy which has covered the northern side of the servants' house. The common yew and the Baltic ivy are symbols of Šlītere, and you can see and photograph them here without "bothering" them in their natural environment. The pump house contains a well that is unique in Latvia – it is 34 m deep, which is nearly the height of the Blue Hills of Šlītere. It reportedly was active until the 1970s and delivered water to the forestry system. A fragment of the stone well can be seen as a part of the wall of the pump house. The semi-estate is surrounded by small elements of a park, including an impressive alley of elm trees. Locals says that pre-war Latvian President Kārlis Ulmanis spent the night at the building once while on a hunt. |

This is one of two crossing points across the Daugava (the other is near Līvāni). It is an exotic form of transportation to carry pedestrians, bicyclists and light automobiles across the river. There is a motor that operates a 200-metre metal cable. The crossing point is based on Soviet military pontoons that were used to build pontoon bridges for tanks. The crossing point was established by its owners. The Dunava Catholic Church is on the left bank of the river, and nearby is a monument to rafters. During the 1820s, there were three crossing points of this type across the Daugava. |
