Dauginčiai outcrop-Šilpelkė educational path

If you want to feel like you are in Switzerland, you don’t have to travel there. The Lithuanian Switzerland, i.e., the wonderful bends of the Minija River, where impressive outcrops have formed over many years, can be found in Kretinga district. One of the most beautiful outcrops is the Dauginčiai Outcrop. Its width is 44 metres and its height is 22 metres. The outcrops are breathtaking in all seasons of the year. For those with knowledge of geology, the outcrop speaks an even more fascinating language. The Dauginčiai Outcrop is one of the places to visit along the discovery path in Šilpelkė Forest. The path is 1.5 kilometres long and meanders through Šilpelkė Forest, which has formed naturally. You can see Dauginčiai Hillfort in the forest, indicating that people have lived in the surrounding areas of the forest and along the discovery path for a long time. More attentive visitors will notice a beech grove, including species listed in the Red Book.
