Kurtuvėnai Regional Park Viewpoint

Šiauliai, Šiauliai1-2 hoursBest: May to October

A panoramic viewpoint in one of Šiauliai county's most scenic regional parks, offering vistas over rolling Žemaitija hills, forests, and the Kurtuvėnai manor estate below.

The Kurtuvėnai Regional Park viewpoint tower provides sweeping panoramas over the characteristic Žemaitija highland landscape — rolling morainic hills covered in mixed forests, meadows dotted with farmsteads, and the historic Kurtuvėnai manor complex below. The park is one of Lithuania's lesser-visited gems, protecting a landscape shaped by glaciers and centuries of sustainable farming. The manor itself dates to the 16th century and now serves as the park's visitor center. The surrounding forests are crisscrossed with hiking and cycling trails, making the viewpoint a natural starting point for deeper exploration.

Why Visit

A rarely visited viewpoint offering classic Žemaitija highlands scenery. The combination of natural beauty and the historic manor estate makes this a rewarding detour.
