The most outstanding tree in the park is an ash tree, which is more than 370 years old and has more than 4 meters in circumference. Since June 2014, a bell collection is put on display in the renovated premises of the stable/cart-house of the Blankenfelde Manor. There are approximately 1000 bells of various origin, history, age, form and material in the private collection of Valdis Jākobsons.

Large open air garden, divided in areas - lilac garden, long rows of cherry, apple and pear, and it claims here they grow most northern apricots! At the entrance you can buy also local tasty gifts (I saw lilac ice cream, juices), lady was very smiling and inviting. Though we came during cold time and season just started, so we enjoyed only blooming apples and cherries. You can walk around (not everywhere are paved roads, some areas reachable via grass and ground), so it will be better to wear appropriate snickers or shoes. There is a small stage and they state there are classical music concerts during lilac season, so check it in advance on their pages. We also used Google maps to navigate here, and it brought us wrong direction - we came up in private living area. The right address is here in Tripadvisor - Graudu 1. We plan to come again few weeks later and invited our friends to pay attention to this place! In advance you may see Old Square with an interesting water fountain, Livonian ruins on the hill and downstairs a small city park along the pound.

We bad the best time @Jaunmoku pils, once we arrived our room was set up for romantic getaway with a nice cheese and fruit platter, bottle of bubbly and rose bouquet. Staff was very friendly, chatty and made us feel very welcome. We started with a nice walk around the manor and it’s gardens, once arrived at the bar we discovered they have homemade ice cream that we could not resist but try, we had strawberry and mint ice cream it was lovely and full of flavor. Then on the top floor there is a nice museum about forest and animals, for me it was better then the museums in the Capital Rīga. Then we had this amazing dinner table set only for us at the veranda where we had 6 course dinner, all was fresh and tasty. After dinner we went for another small walk and went up the tower. Room was very comfortable and cosy, love the deco and furniture. In the morning we had breakfast outside in the garden, we could choose from the menu cooked breakfast and again if was fresh and lovely. Staff again was super friendly and suggested us more things to do :)

9. Retro Auto Kolekcija Pilsrundale
This is a very peculiar auto retro museum where you will find unique old cars and motorcycles in very good condition. You can have some fun taking pictures inside the cars and going for a ride with the owner of the museum on a 1969 Ural or in a 1973 black Volga. There is no admission fee, but donations are welcome.
