Anyone wishing to book a hotel in Nemunaitis can continue their accommodation search afterwards. Nemunaitis originated many centuries ago on the banks of the Nemunas, shaped by pine forests. The Nemunaitis cliff tuff outcrops are 900 m long in total, 20–30 m wide and 1.2–10 m high; layered whitish, grey and brown calcareous tuff can be seen.

Nature

The Nemunaitis cliff tuff outcrop is located in Alytus District, near the village of Nemunaitis, on the right bank of the Nemunas Valley in the Sudvajų Forest District. The Nemunaitis spring is maintained and equipped for drawing water.

Trails

A footpath running along the banks of the Nemunas through the recreation area on Kranto Street leads from Nemunaitis to Klebono Stone. From the recreation area, the path runs in the opposite direction for about one kilometre downstream along the bank to the cliff tuff outcrop; there is no specially constructed path there.

Klebono Stone in the Nemunas was the reason a water-measuring station was established there in 1877.
