Labanoras regional park

EXCLUSIVE VALUE OF THE REGIONAL PARK

It is the largest regional park in the country with the vast qu antities of natural values and probably the greatest biological diversity. The regional park is dotted with water bodies: from the small quagmires to the large Stirniai, Lakajai and Kertuoliai lakes. The large lakes have branches and horns – especially narrow peninsulas. Unique Girutiškis and Beržalotas wetlands are of great importance not only for Lithuania. Osprey is the symbol of the regional park. Labanoras forest contain unique cultural heritage: traditional wooden architecture of villages, and old traditions of ethno-cosmology. Only here we find the only museum of ethno-cosmology in the world, and an archaic celestial bodies’ observation station. To the present day one can hear the sounds of Labanoras pipe.
