There are five national and thirty regional parks in Lithuania abounding
in most aesthetic natural features of the Lithuanian landscape, wildlife
habitats and places of ethnographic interest. Pitching a tent, making
a fire, driving or parking in national and regional parks is allowed only
in certain places, therefore guests are kindly asked to seek advice from
the park management. The management encourages ecological tourism in the
parks, provide all kinds of information about the routes and offer guided
tours. Pitching a tent is prohibited in reserves, however, the visitor
can get acquainted with the valuable reminders of the local heritage,
including farm buildings, agricultural implements and folk sculptures
preserved in these parks if a specialist on protected areas accompanies
him on his tour.
