- Nevėžis River valley and meanders: The river carves gentle loops and steep banks through the park — perfect for easy riverside walks, photos of reflective water, and that peaceful-feel-you-can’t-buy. Paddle or walk along the banks to watch the landscape change with every bend.
- Floodplain meadows and birdlife: Wide, seasonally flooded meadows attract a variety of waterfowl, waders and passerines. Dawn and dusk are best for birdwatching — bring binoculars for herons, ducks and the occasional raptor cruising the valley.
- Old oak and mixed broadleaf stands: Scattered veteran oaks and mixed forests give the park its character — big trunks, shady understory and good spring/summer mushroom and wildflower spots. These woods feel ancient in a way that’s hard to fake.

- River mammals — beavers and otters: The slow stretches of Nevėžis are classic beaver habitat; you’ll often find gnawed trees, lodges or fresh slides. Keep an eye (and ear) out for otter activity at dawn or dusk along quieter channels.
- Hiking and cycling routes with viewpoints: A loose network of trails and rural lanes threads the park — some short loops, some longer rides that follow the river. Several simple wooden viewpoints and river banks make great picnic stops and photo breaks.
- Spring wildflowers and amphibian chorus: In spring the meadows and damp hollows explode with flowers and frog/toad song. It’s a noisy, colorful window into the park’s seasonal life; good timing will reward you with carpets of blooms and buzzing insects.
- Traditional rural landscapes and cultural corners: Small villages, old homesteads and bits of agricultural mosaic sit inside the park boundaries, giving a lived-in feel. Combine a nature walk with a detour to local lanes to see storks on poles, wooden barns and low-key local heritage.
