The greatest value is the preserved patches of unspoilt nature: Žuvintas and Amalvas swamps, Bukta forest. Thousands of migrating birds flock there in autumn and spring, some part of them remain to nest in water meadows of Žuvintas and on the banks of the lakes. There are bird-watching sites and cognitive nature paths there. Two large protected areas have been established: Žuvintas Lake Reserve of Biosphere and the Meteliai Regional Park, which are especially popular with holiday makers. One next to another there are three beautiful lakes of Dzūkija: Dusia, Metelys and Obelija. Nature is beautiful, and the relief is impressive in the southern part of the Meteliai Regional Park. There are many objects of historical, cultural and natural heritage: old villages, churches, mythological rocks, and estates. Hill forts form an inseparable element of the landscape. Some of them are very impressive: Rudamina, Varnupiai, Prelomčiškė, and Kaukai I. Horse riding and recreation are developed, routes are worked out. There are three quite large stud farms and several horse owners who provide services. The most favourable place of recreation is Lake Dusia.
