Nemunas Loops Regional Park, Regional park in Birstonas Municipality, Lithuania
Nemunas Loops Regional Park is a large protected area with forests and multiple bends of the Nemunas River winding through the Lithuanian landscape. The river's curves shape the terrain, creating a varied landscape of woodland, water, and open spaces.
The park was established in 1992 to protect the river's natural bends and the forest ecosystems of the region. This decision reflected a growing commitment to safeguarding Lithuania's natural areas.
The park reveals how people have lived with the river's bends across generations. Ancient settlement sites along the banks tell stories of how communities relied on the Nemunas.
Walking trails are available throughout the area, with access points around Birštonas and nearby locations. Check trail conditions before your visit, as they vary by season and recent weather.
The area protects 18 separate reserves that each preserve different geological formations and ecosystems along the river bends. This variety of protected zones within the park creates a place where many distinct natural conditions exist side by side.
