The pine and oak that grew up in Dubrava forest some 100–150 years ago are most often photographed by collectors of natural oddities or by romantics who believe that love conquers all. In 1971 these twin trees were declared a protected natural object. Look closely and you will notice that the pine trunk is flattened where the two have grown together, and the oak's branches have grown into the pine trunk. Higher up the two trunks part, yet even the greatest cynic will see that the trees seem to hold each other in an embrace of branches, as if protecting one another from storms. The pine is 33 m tall and the oak 27 m. The girth of their shared trunk is as much as 3.6 m. A simple legend is told about the trees, and quite a few people from around Kaunas have chosen this place to declare their love or mark important dates. Isn't it romantic to hear this story here from the lips of your beloved: "The oak fell in love with the pine. Nobody knows how their friendship began. Perhaps a jay forgot where it had hidden an acorn, or a squirrel dropped a seed from a pine cone. The seedlings grew into trees, and they have not left each other for more than 150 years. Time pressed the little oak ever closer to its slender pine. And so they stayed together for life – to turn green and to freeze, to rustle quietly and to battle the storms." Although there is no campfire site, shelter or other tourist facilities by the twin trees, we recommend this place for quiet, "wild" outings. Visitors say a truly special mood comes over you in this corner of the forest.
