Nature objects in Lithuania

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.

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.

This park has five labyrinths with decorative plants, flowers and various kinds of medicinal plants.  The longest path in the labyrinth is 1.7 km long.  The total distance of the paths is 4.5 km.  The park has three geometric figures -- a cupola, a mandala and a Merkabah.

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.

This park dates back to the mid-18th century and is to the south of Lake Stelmuže.  There are winding trails on all sides of the hillock that lead to the Christ the King Church, with linden, maple, oak, birch, fir, elm and pine trees.  At the foot of the hillock is the Laime stream, and visitors are welcome to stroll along the alley of oak trees.  The oldest and fattest oak tree in Lithuania is one of the oldest ones in Europe.  It is though that it is 1,500 to 2,000 ears old, and its record-setting diameter is 3.5 metres (eight or nine people linking hands are needed to encircle it).  The tree is 23 m high.

Kaut arī Augštaitijas nacionālo parku uzskata par floristiskā ziņā ļoti bagātu teritoriju, šī ir vienīgā vieta, kur varam iepazīt augu valsts bagātību. To īstenot palīdz takas malās izvietotie informācijas stendi. 3,8 km garās lokveida takas sākums ir meklējams Palūšē, Lūšu (Lūšiai) ezera galējā austrumu punktā. Taka ved gar ezera krastu, mežainām kāpām, nelielu strautu ielejām un pa purvāju. Nenomaldīties palīdz krāsu marķējums uz koku stumbriem.

The oldest apple tree in Lithuania is a forest apple tree and is part of the country's botanical heritage and the only protected apple tree in Lithuania.
