Tourism attraction area is elected in order to realize the project „European Destinations of Excellence“ orginized by European Commission and the State Tourism Department .
For the most attractive tourism area‘s name competed eight protected areas: Gražutė (Zarasai district), Pagramantis (Taurage district), Neris (Vilnius district), Nemunas Delta (Silute district.), Nemunas hooks (Prienai district), Birzai Regional Parks, complex of Molavėnai mounds, Jukainiai geomorfologhical reservation.
This year’s best project - Nemunas Delta Regional Park .
The scenery of the Nemunas delta, with its two main arms, Atmata and Skirvytė, and the island Rusnė, which they surround, is unique. Water is omnipresent and dominates the landscape: river arms branching out, the big lagoon lake Krokų Lanka and many other small lakes, all interwoven. You can also find ancient river beds, swamps and marshes. Particulary during the great spring flood, the regional park makes an unforgettable impression. Your eyes wander limitlessly over enormous flooded delta meadows with many rare water birds.
The delta is famous for its large number of rare varieties of breeding birds. It is also an important resting area for migratory birds. In 1993, according to the Ramsar Convention, it was added to the list of internationally important marshlands. The purpose of the regional park is to preserve this uniquely diverse and constantly changing ecosystem.
