Near the tower is an oak, that was planted by K.Ulmanis, one of the first presidents of Latvia. The Krustkalni Nature Reserve was established in 1977, and the diversity of plants in the region is based both on the terrain – the Madona-Trepe embankment, a series of hillocks with low areas among them, swamps and small lakes – and on the biotope – natural meadows, forest glades, places where underground streams bubble up to the surface, and vast areas of forest with very old stands of trees. Some 800 types of plants have been defined in the reserve. It can be toured only in the company of a guide from reserve headquarters, and one must apply in advance. Visitors can visit the Kraku streams, Lake Svete-Dreimani, and other sites. ->Slepna autori nav atbildigi par jusu veselibu, ja neieverosiet drošibas noradijumus! ->Cache owners are not responsible for your health if you don't comply with the rules of safety.
