The tree is in the middle of an untended field. Despite many dead branches and the messy surroundings, the tree is beautiful and well visible from the road. It is the third thickest tree in the Baltic States.

Церковь построена примерно в 1680 г. и больше чем через столетие перестроена - 1792 г. Храм и его ценный интерьер погибли во время Второй мировой войны, и только в 90-х годах прошлого столетия храм пережил восстановление в исполнении воспитанников Рижской Ремесленной средней школы. В 2005 году была благоустроена церковная башня, и посетители храма со смотровой платформы могут ознакомиться с местом, откуда Приекульский Икар выполнял свой первый «полет». Рассказывают, что в 1670 году кузнец господской усадьбы швед Йохансонс спустился с церковной башни на самодельных крыльях. За это его сожгли на костре! |

Viens no dažiem Latvijas dzidrūdens ezeriem. Apskatāms no Lubānas - Ļaudonas ceļa malas pie Visagala. Lai saudzētu šo ezeru, tajā esošos aizsargājamos biotopus un sugas, ūdenstilpē nevajadzētu peldēties lielām cilvēku masām un pieļaut cilvēka darbības produktu nonākšanu ezerā.

Каньон Даугавы от Плявиняс до Кокнесе до затопления был одним из лучших и красивейших форм Балтийского рельефа, а Олинькалнс - одним из крупнейших городищ в Латвии, 20-метровая скала (скала Андрея) которого была частью каньона Даугавы. До затопления у Олинькална на Даугаве был большой порог, что затрудняло работу сплавщиков. В наши дни Олинькалнс - это маленький остров в водохранилище Плявиньской ГЭС (зная это, его можно заметить с шоссе Рига – Даугавпилс (А6) напротив Стукмани), отделенный от берега речным рукавом шириной 0,3 км, под которым на дне покоится Иловая низина. На острове сохранился небольшой вал городища, остатки эстрады и обнажение доломита высотой в несколько метров – остатки скалы Андрея. Считается, что на Олинькалне в 13 веке находился замок Аленес. У Даугавы напротив Олинькална установлен камень, который в 1989 году установили латвийские альпинисты. |

Also known as Lake Jēsis or Lake Iesis, this is the lake in Latvia which has the largest number of islands. Many literary sources and encyclopaedias in the 20th century claimed that there were 69 islands in the lake, but that was an exaggeration, because apparently the authors took sandbars overgrown with reeds and other plants to be islands. The true number is approximately two times lesser. The largest number of islands can be found in the north-eastern part of the lake. The largest one is Lielā Lāča (Big Bear) Island (45 ha). A farm was on the island at one time. The islands and the oak trees that are on the shores of the lake – the Piļoru and Pahatnīku stands of trees – are in a restricted environmental reserve. |

The Gauja National Park, established in 1973, was Latvia’s first national park, and it has a wealth of tradition in environmental protection and tourism. Indeed, the GNP is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Latvia. The main “artery” of the park is the ancient Gauja River valley, which was left behind when Ice Age glaciers receded. The valley is 95 kilometres long, with many tributaries that are also in deep ravines with massive sandstone cliffs from the Devonian period. The deepest part of the river valley is at Sigulda, where it is 85 metres deep. The territory has a great diversity of species – some 900 plant species in all. The Gauja is Latvia’s most popular river for water tourism, and many tourist accommodations are found along its shores. The Gauja National Park is one of the best-appointed protected territories in Latvia in terms of nature trails and tourism routes. Nature trails at Līgatne pass along paddocks of wild animals – the largest and most complete object of its kind in the Baltic States. The park also features cultural monuments of pan-Baltic importance – the Turaida Museum Reserve, the medieval old town of the city of Cēsis with its famous castle ruins and St John’s Church, the lake castle at Āraiši, etc. Visitors centres are found in Sigulda, along the Līgatne nature trails, and at the Zvārte rock. The administration of the GNP is building a new and modern visitors centre in Sigulda.

По количеству природных ресурсов, ландшафтов, биологического разнообразия и памятников культуры – один из самых богатых и ландшафтно самых необычных природных парков Латвии, главная «ценность» которого – это практически нетронутая долина среднего течения Даугавы с восьмью большими излучинами (длина 4 – 8 км) и оврагами ее притоков. Великолепные виды открываются с крутых берегов Даугавы, в частности с обрывов Слутишкю и Верверу, а также с гравийной горы Элернес. На берегах долины находятся более двух десятков различных памятников археологии, древние городища – Науенес, Марковас, Вецрачинас и др., многочисленные храмы – Юзефовас, Спрукту, Боровкас, Элернес, Сикелес, Каплавас и др., поместья (Розалишкю, Лиелборнес и др.), а также уникальная обжитая старообрядческая деревня Слутишки, в которой для посетителей создана музейная экспозиция. На территории парка находятся также интересные природные тропы, велосипедные маршруты, можно отправиться в поход на лошадях. Недавно в Краславе была построена новая современная смотровая вышка. Увлекателен спуск по Даугаве на лодках. Природный парк входит в состав большей особо охраняемой природной территории – в охраняемую ландшафтную местность Аугшдаугавы. |
