Aukštadvaris Regional Park

Aukštadvaris Regional Park is a large protected area in southeastern Lithuania covered with dense forests, numerous lakes, and wetland zones. The park features marked trails for hiking, fishing locations near water bodies, and observation points throughout its landscape.

The protected area was established in 1992 as a regional reserve. Its landscape contains ancient burial sites and traditional villages that document centuries of human settlement in the region.

An oak tree in the park honors poet Adam Mickiewicz, linking the forest with Lithuanian literary history. Visitors often pass this memorial while walking through the woodland paths.

The terrain is best explored with sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing since trails pass through wetland areas. Visitors should arrive early to have plenty of time for hiking and observing wildlife throughout the landscape.

The park preserves over 80 lakes scattered throughout its woodland and wetland expanse, making it an important refuge for migratory birds. This abundance of water bodies creates an intricate network that many visitors find unexpected.
