カウナス郡の天然記念物・トップ20

Beautiful place, great view 🤩

No matter what you believe in or who you worship, the confluence of two Lithuania’s biggest rivers, Nemunas and Neris, is a place to restore your energy levels. It’s also sometimes called the birthplace of Kaunas. Some sources say this is where a grove of Milda, the Lithuanian goddess of love, courting, friendship and freedom, once was – maybe this is why the place has always been so popular among romantics. Setting a date at the confluence is a very traditional and special thing to do! Every Thursday, a Romuvian (Romuva is a contemporary continuation of the traditional ethnic religion of the Baltic peoples, more than 5,000 people consider themselves Romuvians) mass is held at the aukuras [fire altar] in the Confluence park.

It's good to lie in this quiet space and breathe in the salt air! It's great that it's freely accessible!

The ferry from in weekends goes each hour from morning until 13:10, afterwards it has long brake until 17:30

The observation deck also has a camping area that is large enough to accommodate several groups of friends at the same time, as well as a few individual benches for solo travelers to stop and rest. There is a fireplace. There is also a fun running circle for people (like hamsters :)), some information boards and a photo frame.

At this point, the soil between the tree roots was obviously washed out, resulting in the interesting root structures.

Mergakalnis outcrop is the highest outcrop near the Kaunas lagoon (42 m high). It offers a wide view. You can see Paukščiai sala, Kruonis HAE. One of the submissions says that women of loose behavior were thrown from this cliff. Before being thrown, they were put into barrels, nailed with nails, or into sacks, along with rabid cats.
