          What does a cow have to do with a cave?  And where in Lithuania can you be “swallowed by Earth”? You will find answers to those odd questions during your trip to Birzai Regional Park with a ready-to-go guidebook from Baltics Undiscovered.

          Birzai Regional Park is a wonderful destination for a trip at the turn of Spring and Summer. Birzai region teems of nature treasures – cute small rivers, Lithuania’s oldest artificial lake, picturesque forest with rich biodiversity and unique area with very high density of sinkholes.

          During your trip we invite you to visit a landscape reserve, where you will see a lot of sinkholes and learn how and why they appear. To observe this unique landscape an eye-catching observation tower and a pontoon bridge were built. This beautiful complex is one of the Regional Park’s main attractions and a great place for a photo shooting in fresh spring greenery or in a lovely poppy field at the beginning of Summer.

           The town of Birzai boasts rich historical heritage, that is impossible to miss. Birzai medieval castle and Astrava’s Manor are the absolute must-sees and have a lot of interesting stories to tell. Some of them you can learn from our guidebook.
