Nature objects in Lithuania

Eine der malerischischen Burgberge am Fluss Nemunas mit schöner Sicht aufs Flusstal. In 13 – 14 Jh. befand sich hier eine militäre Festung, die nicht erhalten ist.

The botanical garden was established in 1993 in the lovely Dane River valley.  It covers approximately 9.3 hectares, and in 2002, it was given the status of a dendrological park.

1855, als einen Schiffahrtsweg getieft wurde, wurde im Haff unerwartet eine Bernsteinablagerung gefundet. In der Zeit zwischen 1860 und 1890 wurde dort 2250 Tonen Bernstein gewonnen, einbezogen einzigartige Bernsteingegenstände aus der Jungsteinzeit und der Bronsezeit.

Located on an island in Lake Dviragio, the Salu Estate and its park, when viewed from above, are reminiscent of the boundaries of Lithuania.  The park to the east of the estate is a mixed-type park and is one of the oldest ones in Lithuania.  Back in the day, it was a forest park where trees were never cut down.  The park featured maple, linden, elm, aspen and other local trees, and they are now around 200 years old.  A winding path links the alley to a park trail by the lake.  The various plants and fragments of alleys have survived to the present day.

The Jakiškiu Estate was first mentioned in documents in the late 16th century.  The estate had elements of Classicism in terms of its architecture.  Among the buildings, the only ones that have survived are the mansion, an ice cellar and a steam-driven windmill.  The estate has not been restored, so it is still authentic.  Its artistic soul is preserved by various objects that remain from the time when people lived at the estate and from the Soviet era.  Alongside the estate are a few fragments of a park, which covers approximately 2 ha.  There is an ancient alley of linden trees that are on both sides of the entrance road, as well as several other valuable types of trees and a small pond.

Viens no iespaidīgākajiem nacionālā parka pilskalniem, kura piekājē atradusies senpilsēta. Arheoloģisko izrakumu gaitā te atrastas kuršu senlietas. Tiesa, mežs un biezais augājs traucē uztvert šī nozīmīgā arheoloģijas pieminekļa patiesos apjomus un formu. Uz pilskalnu vasarās ved izpļauta taka. Ja esat Žemaišu Kalvarijas pusē un atliek brīvs brīdis, tad savā maršrutā var iekļaut arī šo apskates objektu.

The territory is established in order to protect the dunes and the seashore habitats. There are beautiful beaches and wooded dunes, and the paved Klaipēda–Palanga bikeway trails through the park, which is worth travelling at full length.

This is Lithuania’s largest mossy swamp, and the Čepkeliu Nature Reserve was established to protect it.  Before visiting the swamp, you must register at the Dzūkijos National Park’s visitor centre (Marcinkonys, Šilagėlių gatve 11).

Nahe der Beerkopfdüne ist im Frühling 2006 „ein Brand der Jahrhunderte” gewessen. Es wurde der hundert Jahre alte Wald in der Fläsche von 235h ausgebrannt. Ein Pfad mit Holzbelag.

Lietuvas lielākais sūnu purvs, kura aizsardzības nolūkā ir izveidots Čepkeļu dabas rezervāts (Čepeklių gmatinis rezervatas). Tas izvietojies starp Dzūkijas nacionālā parka dienvidaustrumu daļu un Baltkrieviju. No Marcinkones pa smilšainu meža ceļu (~ 9 km turp - atpakaļ) ar kājām vai divriteni (arī nelielu tūrisma autobusu līdz 20 vietām) var nokļūt līdz purva malai, kur mežainās kāpās un purvā izveidota 1,5 km gara dabas taka un skatu tornis, no kura labi pārredzama purva rietumdaļa. Pirms došanās uz Čepkeļu purvu, ir jāreģistrējas Dzūkijas nacionālā parka apmeklētāju centrā (Šilagėlių gatve 11), kas meklējams aiz dzelzceļa pārbrauktuves. Te apskatāma neliela nacionālajam parkam un rezervātam veltīta ekspozīcija.

In terms of territory, it is the most impressive dune range in the Baltics. This is the only place in the Baltics, where one can enjoy open dune sands that are still active and, under the influence of wind, form the so-called eolian relief forms. There are trails, wooded trails and a paved bikeway for the conveniences of visitors. In order to protect the dune, The Dunes of Curonian spit National Park has been established .
