[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Auk\u0161tadvaris Regional Park was established seeking to preserve the most remarkable part of the Dz\u016bkai upland: the hills of Auk\u0161tadvaris, one of the most picturesque sites in Lithuania, with numerous lakes in the upper reaches of the rivers Verkn\u0117 and Str\u0117va. Enclosed by centuries-old pine forests, the scenic lakes have attracted visitors for years.<\/p>\n

The noteworthy features are the forest-covered landscape of the Mergi\u0161kiai \u2013 Auk\u0161tadvaris system of hills with Gedanoniai Hill (the highest point of the upland), the sources and expressive valleys of the Verkn\u0117 and the Str\u0117va, the clear lakes lying in the valleys (the park boasts about 80 of them), the 40 m deep Velnio duob\u0117 (Devil\u2019s Pit), the \u201cqueen\u201d of all sinkholes in Lithuania, the mysterious stone at Nikroniai, the group of boulders in Ustron\u0117, the valley of Lake Vilkok\u0161nis, and the beautiful forests of Spind\u017eius and Str\u0117va.<\/p>\n

The main sites include the mounds of Lavari\u0161kiai, Mo\u0161a, Pami\u0161k\u0117, \u017duklijai and Str\u0117va, the burial grounds at Drabu\u017eininkai, Lauzgeniai, Mo\u0161a, Lavari\u0161kiai and Str\u0117va, the town of Auk\u0161tadvaris (a church and the ensemble of a Dominican friary, manor house and park with the oak of the poet A. Mickiewicz and the first trout ponds in Lithuania, a hydroelectric power station, the fortified hill at Auk\u0161tadvaris and Kartuv\u0117s Hill), the hydroelectric power station with straits in Bagdanoniai, the \u201croyal\u201d high road, the stones and springs of the sacred grove, manor houses, and different villages.<\/p>\n

The areas designated for recreation are the greater part of the Auk\u0161tadvaris Hydroelectric Power Station Reservoir, the shores of lakes Skrebis and Sienis, the northern shore of the bay of Lake Vilkok\u0161nis, Lake Pakojas, the shores of Lake \u0160amukas, the north-western shore of Lake Drabu\u017eis, the northern and eastern shores of Lake Ungurys, and the southern part of Lake Auk\u0161linis. Camping sites can be found at Lake Stanka in the village of Str\u0117va and at the Auk\u0161tadvaris Hydroelectric Power Station Reservoir.<\/p>\n

The park has five walking trails, and routes for cyclists, among them \u017daliasis takas (The Green Trail), Po Auk\u0161tadvario miestel\u012f (Around the Town of Auk\u0161tadvaris), Pro Velnio duob\u0119 (By The Devil\u2019s Pit) and Pro sakralinius \u0161altinius (By the Sacred Springs). A bicycle trail from Auk\u0161tadvaris to Str\u0117va and around Lake Vilkok\u0161nis is now under construction.<\/p>\n

Canoeing is best in the upper reaches of the river Verkn\u0117, from the eastern shore of Lake Vilkok\u0161nis where the Verkn\u0117 falls into the lake to the Auk\u0161tadvaris Hydroelectric Power Station.<\/p>\n

Skiing trips around the environs of the Str\u0117va are held in winter.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
