On the 1.5 km long cognitive hiking trail in Šilpelkė or Dauginčiai forest, you will see the territory important for the protection of Natura 2000 habitats, the ecosystem of the Minija Valley near Dyburiai and the habitats of European importance found there. Park your vehicle at Dauginčiai old cemetery. At the beginning of the trail you will find Dauginčiai mound, through which the trail leads towards one of the most impressive exposures of Minija. Following the directions, you will easily reach the Dauginčiai exposure, which offers a wonderful panorama of the Minija Valley. This area is also called the Lithuanian Switzerland by the locals. Admiring the cliffs and capes, lish ditches and slopes, you will reach Minija again through a park-like ridge. The sound of its rippling waters will accompany you all the way to Dauginčiai mound, where you started your journey.
