EXCLUSIVE VALUE OF THE REGIONAL PARK

Here, one can find the largest in Lithuania juniper forest. In Salantai, there is the thickest and oldest horse-chestnut tree growing. The uniqueness and diversity of the landscape is even more increased by Kartena and Imbarė mounds where the old Curonian castles used to stand. Alka Hill was probablythe one on which the holy fire was burning the longest. Crosses, chapels and wayside shrines make up the integral part of the landscape. Unique exhibitions of stones.
