ŽAGARĖ ESKER AND ŽVELGAITIS HILLFORT

Nature / landscape

Žagarė Esker is a legacy of the last ice age: a long and narrow ridge from sand and gravel carried by meltwater into the crevasses and tunnels of the glacier. It is one of the longest eskers in Lithuania, and one of the most spectacular, as the plains around the ridge are flat. The 3.6 km Žagarė Esker Cognitive Path in Žagarė Regional Park offers a wonderful chance to admire the beautiful nature (a protected Natura 2000 area), to observe birds, animals or insects, and to camp.
