Amalva Bog Nature Trail

In one of the largest bogs in Suvalkija lies the shortest nature trail in Lithuania. It is only 121 metres long, so you certainly won't get tired walking it. Along this short trail you will get to know the wildlife and plant life of Amalva Bog. This nature trail takes visitors into Amalva Bog, one of the largest in Suvalkija, where nature lovers can enjoy the wide expanses of the bog and learn about its history, ecosystem, wildlife and plants from the trail's information boards. At the start of the trail there is a viewing platform offering a wonderful panorama of Amalva Bog and the wider landscape of Žuvintas Biosphere Reserve, where there are other sights to visit too. According to foresters, it is a very natural and unique corner of Sūduva's nature that you simply must see. The information boards of the nature trail, prepared by the Žuvintas Biosphere Reserve directorate, state that nearly a hundred bird species live in the Amalva bogs, and the specific bog environment strongly influences the wildlife, so here you can come across Baltic graylings, common adders, elk, wolves and other animals that nature lovers will find interesting to see.
