Despite being one of the flattest countries in Europe, Lithuania offers surprisingly dramatic viewpoints. Ancient hill forts, modern observation towers, church steeples, and hidden clifftop trails reveal sweeping panoramas of forests, river valleys, and the distinctive Lithuanian landscape. Many of these viewpoints are known only to locals and require a short hike or a bit of detective work to find.
