Kaunas County, Administrative region in central Lithuania.
Kaunas County is an administrative region in central Lithuania comprising eight municipalities spread across varied terrain. The area features a mix of flat land, forests, and river valleys that shape its geography and connect different parts of the region.
The region functioned as a traditional county administration until 2010, when Lithuania reorganized its local government structure. This reform transferred administrative responsibilities from the county level directly to individual municipalities across the territory.
The region displays heraldic elements with an aurochs head in silver and golden cross on its official coat of arms and flag.
The region is well connected by road networks with access to Kaunas International Airport for regional travel. Visitors can explore different areas by car or public transport depending on which municipalities they wish to visit.
Three major rivers run through the territory and meet at several points, creating distinctive water landscapes throughout the area. These river intersections shape the natural structure of the region in ways that are characteristic to this part of Lithuania.
