The Laumės Foot in Biržuvėnai, near Biržuvėnai Manor in Telšiai District, is a naturally formed gorge shaped like a human foot. Measuring about 36 × 20 meters, it features a spring in the northwestern part that flows into a nearby pond.
A twin-trunked sacred pine tree stands nearby, with a cross and a small chapel housing a "Rūpintojėlis" (The Caregiver) sculpture. Known for its miraculous properties, the spring's water was believed to heal and restore youth. Locals would carry the sacred water home for its curative benefits.
Legend says the gorge was imprinted by a laumė (mythical creature), giving it the name Laumės Pėda (Laumė's Foot). Stories also speak of a large stone with a laumė's footprint, guarded by the Gorskiai family. This site holds historical and cultural significance, and people continue to visit for blessings and health.
