Östlich der Straße Ezermuiža-Dūmele liegt das Seebett des alten Dieviņezers-Sees. Er war einer der größten Seen in Kurland:7,5 km lang und 1,6 km breit. Im Jahr 1838 wurde ein Kanal gegraben, wodurch der jetzige Fluss Melnsilupe und das Wasser aus dem See ins Meer abgeleitet wurden, um fruchtbares Ackerland zu bekommen. Die Einwohner von Ezermuiža waren bereits seit der Herrschaft von Baronen mit der Forstwirtschaft und Forstnutzung verbunden. Dūmele und Košrags werden mit einer einsamen Waldstraße, Apakšceļs (Untere Straße) genannt, verbunden, an der die Fahrradroute verläuft. In Dūmele befindet sich das Ferienhaus „Ziedkalni“.

This is the centre for Catholicism in Latvia and a destination for pilgrims from all around the world.  Its origins date back to 1699, when the Dominican Order established a cloister.  One year later, it built the first wooden church.  The brick Church of St Dominic and the buildings of the cloister were erected between 1768 and 1800.  The Baroque church is distinguished by two towers that are 60 metres high.  The pulpit, organ prospectus, organ, prayer bench and pews come from the 18th century, while the side altars date back to the early 19th century.  The central altar includes the painting “The Miraculous Mother of God of Aglona,” which is thought to have healing properties.  For that reason, it is unveiled only during important events.  In advance of a visit to Latvia by Pope John Paul II in 1993, the complex underwent major rebuilding and restoration.  On August 15 each year, hundreds and thousands of pilgrims arrive in Aglona to celebrate the assumption of the Virgin Mary.  The holy stream of Aglona is 100 metres to the East of the basilica.

This mixed-type park dates back to the latter half of the 19th century and has remained all but unchanged.  It is in a lovely place between two lakes, and its spatial structure was preserved when it was restored.  The park covers 10 ha and has two parts.  One is a fairly precisely rectangular territory alongside the state, surrounded by a stand of linden trees and introduced trees.  The other part has a natural forest.  The largest oak tree in the park has been declared to be a protected element of natural heritage.  The mighty trunk of the tree is 6.3 m around, has a 2m diameter and stands 30.5 m high.
