Description:

Lēdurga Dendropark has a very interesting history. It has mainly been created by one man – Arvīds Janitens, who in 1973 on his own initiative started to plant trees, bushes and perennials in a previously underutilised rural area. Now more than 1000 subspecies of different trees and bushes have been growing here, including many North Vidzeme climate fragile tree plants. This is the largest collection of non-native origin tree plants in Latvia and it has become a protected natural and cultural hisotrical object.

There are many resting areas at the park that will satisfy any taste. Therefore it is possible to organise some event here (a picnic with friends or family, a wedding ceremony etc.) and choose an appropriate resting site – should it be a twig hut with benches and a fireplace site, a fine gazebo for photo shoots or a spacious tent for more people. There are also many different interest objects in the park – wooden sculptures, a labyrinth, a horoscope circle, Mudurga boulder etc. There is one main path stretching through the park, which is also accessible to people in wheelchairs, with many paths branching off it that allow to admire the various trees, bushes and plants growing in the park, as well as the interest objects here. The total area of the park is 47,2 ha and the overall length of the paths exceeds 2,5 km.

Main path of the park is accessible to wheelchair users. Open during park working hours. Price for adults 2,50 EUR. More info: www.ledurgasdendroparks.lv
