Širvėnos Lake in Biržai is considered the oldest artificial water body in Lithuania. Created in 1575 by damming two rivers, it was an important part of the Biržai defensive fortress, protecting the town from the north. At that time, the lake covered nearly 400 hectares.
In 1928, an impressive 525-meter-long pedestrian bridge was built, connecting Astravas and Biržai. It became the longest pedestrian bridge in Lithuania. Today, the lake covers about 325 hectares, and the bridge is a popular spot for fishermen, newlyweds, and tourists.
Visitors often choose the bridge as a walking route to enjoy the beautiful views of the lake and the town of Biržai, as well as the tranquility.
