My Neighbourhood

Although Dieveniškės is a village and it is old, the countryside there is very nice and people are friendly. First, there is Dieveniškės Historic Regional Park. It was created to preserve landscape of cultural and nature’s objects, the features of ancient Lithuanian culture, to operate and manage recreational and economical reserves. Total area of the park is 8794 ha. In park there are nice reserves. One of the biggest is The Gauja landscape and zoological reserve (516 ha). The purpose of the regional park is to preserve flat and wide valleys, the riverbed of the river Gauja and vegetation of pine forests with insects’, which are characteristic in South Lithuania. The Gauja is not very wide, but it is very meandrous. In Kalviai, there is the Gauja educational track. There is much information to know more about our village nature. It is beautiful place to spend time with friends or family. On the other hand, the people in Dieveniškės are very friendly and hearty. If something happens, they will always help. They accept visitors kindly. In my vicinity there are many cultural and natural objects, which are wonderful place to visit.
