Nature

The Nemunaitis tufa outcrops are 900 m long in total, 20–30 m wide and 1.2–10 m high; layered whitish, grey and brown tuff is visible. The Nemunaitis spring is maintained and equipped for drawing water.

Paths

A footpath running along the Nemunas through the recreation area on Kranto St. leads from Nemunaitis to Klebono Stone. Klebono Stone in the Nemunas was the reason a water measurement station was established there in 1877.
