Juniper valley
“The Juniper Valley is a national monument of national importance. Walking along this cognitive trail opens up a panorama of the Nemunas and Dabinta islands. Delightful outcrops open up its beauty. It is one of the most impressive cognitive trails in Lithuania with views most surprising, “said Gilmina Spurytė.
In the village of Arlaviškės (Kaunas district), the Kadagiai Valley Trail winds its way over the Kaunas Lagoon cliff in 2016. He chose the most beautiful educational trail in Lithuania. It offers an overview of the expansion of the Nemunas and Dabinta islands, the Ronakalnis outcrop, and even a unique 5-hectare juniper in Lithuania, recognized as a natural monument of national importance. The height of some almost centennial junipers reaches 12.5 m.
In recent years, the venue has become very popular with lovers of romantic walks, spectacular “personalities” and wedding photographers. Furthermore, due to the special essential oils extracted from juniper, the air in this place is extremely clean, according to natural medicine experts, even during healing. Therefore, we recommend that you do not rush here and do not limit yourself to a beautiful panoramic view.
