The Vosbučiai Exposure, located in the territory of Krakiai eldership, near the confluence of the Šušvė and Ginevė rivers, is one of the most unique geological sites in the region. In 1996, this area was officially declared a botanical-zoological reserve due to its diverse flora and fauna. Rare plants such as the common sea-holly, orchids, and gentians are found here, and otters inhabit the river while dippers nest on the steep river banks. Known locally as Raudonkalniai, the Vosbučiai Exposure reaches a height of 16 meters and offers impressive views of the winding Šušvė river valley.

Known locally as Raudonkalniai, the Vosbučiai Exposure reaches a height of 16 meters and offers impressive views of
the winding Šušvė river valley. At the intersection of Pernarava and Pašušvis roads, turning right from Guptilčiai village and following a meadow path for about 400 meters, this geological wonder opens up. The stratification of the exposure layers is vertically layered, revealing the history of glacial mechanics from the Ice Age. Additionally, the nearby Vosbučiai hillfort, known as Pilaitės Hill, dating from the beginning of the first millennium to the beginning of the second millennium, adds to the historical and cultural context of this location.
