Svilė springs

Svilė springs is a natural area in northern Lithuania with over one hundred different springs. These sources feed a small brook that flows into the Venta-Dubysa Canal system.

These springs have served as an important water source since ancient times for people in the region. Local communities have long held beliefs about the healing power of these waters.

Local people come here to collect water for cooking and traditional remedies, a practice passed down through families. These customs shape how visitors see the place and its role in the community.

You can visit the springs any time of year and find educational displays about how the area was formed geologically. Signage explains the ecological importance of the place and what makes it special.

The area is home to rare species of algae and water insects that have barely changed since the last ice age. These living fossils make the place scientifically significant.
