Strėvos įgriuva, Natural sinkhole in Aukštadvaris Regional Park, Lithuania.

The Strėvos įgriuva forms a basin-shaped depression measuring 150 meters in length and 100 meters in width, with steep slopes reaching 20 meters in depth.

The sinkhole emerged approximately 18,000 years ago when glacial deposits covered a detached ice block, creating the cavity after the ice melted completely.

According to Lithuanian mythology, the sinkhole marks the location of a former tavern that sank into the ground during a devil's wedding celebration.

Visitors can explore the natural formation through a 600-meter walking trail equipped with five information stations and an observation platform.

The bottom of the sinkhole contains a 2.5-meter layer of peat and maintains a water level 0.3 meters below the surface throughout the year.
