While you need a special permit to explore the beauty of this protected area, the wooden Lake Žuvintas Nature Trail is open to all visitors. The trail is only 500 metres long, so it’s not that adventurous of a walk, but the views that the observation tower at the end of it offers are simply spectacular.

And while you need a special permit to explore the beauty of this protected area, the wooden Lake Žuvintas Nature Trail is open to all visitors.
