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. |
