    At the roots of Lithuanian history. People lived here 4 thousands years ago already, observing Baltic sea and protecting land from attacs of vikings

    Maybe not so easy to find.. Locates in the middle in a large park. In ancient times this hill was a major trading center for amber.

    Nice for a walk, however view is not the best, you can see just a very small part of the sea.

    Another must see in Palanga. Great views from the top. Also, we use the stops to exercise. As this is an ancient pagan site, it has information on this too on the info boards around the hill.

    It's a lovely place to see... With great views and surrounded by a beautiful park with ponds, and hills. Not too far away there's a Lithuanian Amber Museum and Botanical garden, also there's a beach near by. It will keep you busy for at least half of the day for sure!

    It is the tallest point in Birute's park and is surrounded with old pine forest. Enjoy the magnificent view of Baltic sea. Best time to enjoy this view is on sunset- then this place shows all its beauty. A pagan sanctuary with paleoastronomy observatory was set up on this hill. More than 100 years ago a neo-gothic chapel was built on the top of Birute hill. It has beautiful decorations with stained glass.

    When in Palanga, you not only can enjoy the Baltic sea, but also a walk in one of the most beautiful parks in Northern Europe - Birutė Park. Called the pearl of Palanga, this resort space was established on the territory of the former sacred Birutė Forest and Birutė Mountain. The landscape plan park project was created by the famous French architect Eduardas François Andres at the end of the 19th century on the order of Counts Tiškevičius. The talentedly designed park is characterized by a wide variety of views, paths and flower beds on the grounds. Here, on the land of the former Tiškevičiai estate, there were swamps covered with reeds until then. On the order of the counts, ponds were dug in this place, and the soil was used for the embankment of the future mansion. In 1897, a Neo-Renaissance style palace was built on it, which currently houses the famous Amber Museum. Birutė Park is a great place for a quiet and cozy family vacation, or a simple walk to enjoy the Baltic nature. Traditionally, three times a week - every summer Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 6:30 p.m. wind music fans gather in the park's rotunda - the professional Palanga orchestra gives Palanga residents and guests free concerts surrounded by nature.

    If your in the area then we'll worth a visit. Some beautiful views over the sea from the right angle and ultimately part of a stunning national park and beautiful area.

    In the Palanga Botanical Garden, there is a relic dune on which the Birutė chapel stands. A sacred place where there used to be a pagan temple. A red brick chapel was built on the mountain, which is closed, but what is inside could be seen through the hole. The chapel has a stained glass window.
