LITHUANIA ~ Samogitian National Park ~

... Great nature view of lake Plateliai... almost the entire life in the Samogitia National Park is centered around the Plateliai Lake... it is the deepest, largest and probably the most beautiful lake in Samogitia with islands, peninsulas, bays, surrounded by hillsides and forests... covering about 12 km² and reaches up to 49 m in depth... the park offers activities like boating, sailing, hiking, and cycling... alongside historical sites such as hillforts, churches, and a former Soviet missile base turned museum... Thanks Lina Li!ヽ(•‿•)ノ
