Latvia / Lithuania border
The Izidorius Navidanskas Park began to be planted in 1928. The park has over 120 species of trees and shrubs, of which 34 species and forms are of local origin. There are seven ponds where birds swim and fish breed, and there is also a river that runs through the park. In the southern part of the park, surrounded by ponds and a natural grove, there is a three-hectare apple orchard that was planted before World War II. Lithuanian natural selection apple varieties that have long been traditionally grown in Lithuania blossom every year and delight all with their fruit: ‘Antaninis’ (‘Antonovka’), ‘Ravelio kriaušinis’ (‘Reval Pear-Apple’), ‘Sierinka’, ‘Popierinis’ (‘White Transparent’), ‘Vytautinis’ (‘Wealthy’), and so on. Little lambs keep the grass under control in the 57-hectare territory of the Žemaitija Botanical Park.
The park is always open to visitors and admission is free. Visitors can only see the park on their own – tour guide services are not available.
