Varnių Regional Park is one of the most unique areas in Samogitia, offering the opportunity to see some of the most impressive hillforts that bear witness to medieval battles against the Teutonic and Livonian Orders. Among the most famous hillforts are Šatrija, Girgždutė, Moteraitis, Sprūdė, and Vembūtai. The park also features the largest natural lake in Samogitia, Lake Lūkstas, which is remarkable for its waves that wash amber pieces ashore – the only lake in Lithuania with this phenomenon.
