Discover the natural beauty and history of Žemaitija National Park on a day trip from Kaunas. Visit Plateliai Lake, the Cold War Museum, and the charming town of Plateliai.
Begin your journey with a scenic drive into Žemaitija National Park, where untouched nature and cultural heritage blend harmoniously. As you travel through pine forests and past shimmering lakes, your guide shares insights into the park’s formation, protected species, and Samogitian traditions that have remained strong for centuries.
Continue to Plateliai Lake, a stunning natural gem with crystal-clear water and picturesque landscapes.
