📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Krekenava Regional Park was established at 1992 to protect one of the main nature treasures in Central Lithuania lowland - the Valley of Nev279;is River, its oxbow lakes and meadows. Only this regional park in Lithuania can offer a unique opportunity to watch free-ranging herds of European bison. Forests around Krekenava Regional Park are rich in biodiversity typical for deciduous forests. There are few swamps in the territory of the park that required regular nature management work. There are many objects of cultural heritage: former manors, the museum of Lithuanian book smugglers and unique crosses carved by cross-crafter V.Svirkis.
