Belvederis Mound Viewpoint

The Belvederis Mound offers what many consider Lithuania's most dramatic river panorama. From this elevated vantage point east of Kaunas, you can watch the Neris River flow into the mighty Nemunas — a confluence of Lithuania's two greatest rivers that has been a strategically and spiritually significant site for millennia. The viewpoint sits on a hillfort mound that was fortified in medieval times, and the sweeping views explain why. From here, the river landscape extends in every direction — forested banks, oxbow lakes, flooded meadows, and the distant spires of Kaunas. In autumn, the surrounding forests blaze with color, and in spring, the rivers flood dramatically.
