Spacious yard, surrounded by closed Lithuanian gallery, with a chapel with steps in the center, by which those who come to pray go up. In a monastery in authentic monks’ cells many fresco paintings are made. Splendid chapel of Šiluva is built upon the project of well-known architect Antanas Vivuliškis. Here there is also an attractive old market square with several old wooden houses surrounding it. The numerous pagan memorials include Bridvaišis, Šiauleliai, Pašakarnėlis and Kudinis castle hills, Kuršis, Debeikis, Rinkšelis tumuluses (burial mounds), as well as former shrine of pagans – Saint Jurgis Hill.^[4]

-Expressive hills, deep ravines, huge elongated hollows of swamps and lakes (Bridvaišis, Gilius, Apušis and Gauštvinis). Only in Lithuania one can find unique stone banks, formed from glaciers, which are called ‘rūžomis‘ by the locals.

-Next to Gauštvinis lake there is an abundance of humid bog forests, which are populated by rare species of plants and animals. Very diversified landscape results in high biological diversity of the park: bogs, boggy lakes, operating peatlands, dry hills, overgrown by pines and dark firs.
