Our Recommendations
We invite you to discover the Varėna District – a land that lives in harmony with nature, where forests stretch far, lakes glisten, rivers wind through the landscape, and the sandy plains of Dzūkija unfold.
Čepkeliai is the largest natural area in Lithuania, home to capercaillies, cranes, black grouse and other rare animal, plant and mushroom species. An 18-meter-high observation tower has been built on the edge of the Čepkeliai ravine, offering a spectacular view of the raised bog surrounded by continental dunes.
Bakanauskų Lake and the surrounding marsh were formed by the melting of a block of ice that broke off from a receding glacier and was buried under sediment. A footbridge has been built from the edge of the marsh to the lake, along which you can see the full diversity of marsh vegetation, admire the colors of the marshes, and enjoy the smells.
The Žiežulis Route is a great place for those who want to relax, be with nature and regain strength. No car noise, polluted air, only forest paths, sandy hills and mountains. At the end of the trail you can refresh yourself in the Žiežulis Lake.
