Rambynas Regional Park, Regional park in Pagėgiai Municipality, Lithuania
Rambynas Regional Park spreads across about 4,800 hectares along the Nemunas River and combines forests, wetlands, meadows, and natural lakes in western Lithuania. The protected area is divided into eight zones that safeguard different landscapes and ecosystems.
The protected area was established in 1992 and preserves traces of ancient settlements from Baltic tribes in prehistoric times. Rambynas hill is mentioned in documents from the 14th century and was an important location in the region.
The park contains the Martynas Jankus Museum and traditional Lithuanian villages where you can see local architecture and daily practices that have been maintained over time. Visitors encounter how communities here keep their crafts and customs alive in the landscape.
The park offers hiking trails, bird watching, and fishing spots with designated areas for different activities. Visitors should prepare for natural conditions and bring appropriate gear for the season.
A remarkable spruce in the Vilkyškiai forest stands out for its exceptional size and is protected as a natural monument in the park. Such trees with unusual dimensions serve as witnesses to the ancient forests that once covered the area.
