Lacs karstiques et tour d'observation de Kirkilai walks
The Kirkilai Karst Lakes and their observation tower
In the heart of Biržai Regional Park, in northern Lithuania, this short circular walk takes you around a unique geological site: the Kirkilai Karst Lakes. Here, the dissolution of underground gypsum has carved out a multitude of small basins – known as dolines – which are now filled with water and surrounded by grassy strips of land. The path leads from one basin to the next via wooden footbridges, winding through reeds and birch trees. At the start stands a tall wooden tower, shaped like a boat or a crescent moon, whose viewing platform offers a panoramic view of the entire mosaic of lakes and the surrounding countryside. An ideal walk for an easy family outing, bringing you up close to a rare natural wonder.
