From times immemorial, White Stork has been considered a symbol of Lithuanian countryside, living next to people, therefore directly related to human environment and the way of life. White Stork is not only a part of the cultural heritage, reflected in our folklore, but also an inseparable part of the human-transformed agricultural landscape, i.e. important element of our country’s natural heritage. Therefore, White Stork is considered Lithuania’s national bird, sym- bolising harmonious coexistence of humans and nature. White Storks are not deterred by arable land if it neighbours meadows and pastures with fragments of wetlands – this bird is quick to adapt to and take advantage of human activities both in search for food and in building nests on homestead rooftops or in surrounding trees. After Lithuania regained its independence, and small-scale farming was re-established, favourable feeding condi- tions for White Storks were restored, while remaining farmsteads provided safe refuges for rearing the young. As a result, White Stork remained a common breeding spe- cies in Lithuania, its abundance surprising visitors from Western Europe, where these birds have declined heavily or disappeared altogether due to very intensive agriculture. Furthermore, while this species was declin- ing in other countries, in Lithuania it was increasing.

The lighthouse Uostadvaris (Lithuanian Uostadvario švyturys, German Kuwertshof ) is a lighthouse in Lithuania. It is located in the Neman Delta, on the southern bank of the Atamata, in the village of Uostadvaris, Šilutė Municipality, Klaipėda District. The lighthouse was built between 1873 and 1876 when the Memel delta was still part of the German Empire. It has the shape of a regular octagon and is made of red brick masonry. The outer wall is decorated with green glazed bricks. Inside, a spiral staircase leads to the lantern room and observation deck. Next door is the house of the lighthouse keeper. The beacon was extinguished in 1986 and is now no longer used for navigation as a technical monument. https://www.wikiwand.com/de/Lighthouse_Uostadvaris

Aukštumalos pažintinis takas – paslaptinga vieta, kurioje keliautojai turi retą galimybę susipažinti su visame pasaulyje žinoma aukštapelke ir sužinoti apie jai būdingus augalus bei gyvūnus, pamatyti kraštovaizdį, patirti savitą ir nepakartojamą pelkės grožį bei suprasti, kad pelkė - tai ne tik žliugsintis telkinys su bedugniais ir klastingais turistų tykančiais akivarais, bet ir vienas iš nedaugelio dar likusių prieglobsčių itin retiems augalams ir gyvūnams. Didžiulį, net 2500 hektarų, plotą užimanti Aukštumalos pelkė yra unikali savo prigimtimi – tai deltinio tipo atvira aukštapelkė, o vandeniu ji pasipildo ne tik iš kritulių, bet dar ir iš potvynių. Ši ypatinga vieta taip pat laikoma pasaulio pelkėtyros mokslo lopšiu. Aukštumalos, kūlgrinda vingiuojantis, pažintinis takas buvo nutiestas dar 18-ame amžiuje ir jungė keletą, dabar jau nebeegzistuojančių, pelkinių kaimų. Šiandien takas keliautojus vilioja smaragdinėmis pelkinių ežerėlių akimis, minkštais, raustančių spanguolių karoliais, kreivomis nykštukinėmis pušaitėmis ir paslaptingomis paukščių giesmėmis. Deja, iki mūsų tik trečdalis pelkės – vakarinė jos dalis – išlaikė natūralius bruožus ir 1995-aisiais buvo paskelbta telmologiniu draustiniu. 1993-aisiais metais Aukštumalos pelkė įrašyta į Ramsaro konvencijos tarptautinės svarbos teritorijų sąrašą, o nuo 2004-ųjų išlikusi pelkės dalis tapo Europos ekologinio tinklo "Natura 2000" dalimi. Daugiau nei kilometro ilgio pažintinis takas lankytojams atskleidžia visas aukštapelkės grožio paslaptis, jos formavimosi istoriją bei padeda atverti pelkės gamtos lobių skrynelę: pažinti tik jai būdingas buveines, augalus ir gyvūnus, suprasti, kuo vertinga ši paslaptinga ekosistema, kaip lengvai galima ją pažeisti ir kaip sudėtinga gydyti padarytas žaizdas. Informaciniai stendai pasakoja ir kadaise buvusius, bet mūsų dienų nesulaukusius pelkininkų kaimus, pirmuosius Aukštumalos pelkės mokslinius tyrimus, aukštapelkių reljefo ypatybes ir durpių klodų metraščiuose slypinčią istorinę medžiagą. Pažintinio tako pabaigoje, prie pelkinio ežerėlio, įrengta 3 metrų aukščio apžvalgos platforma, nuo kurios atsiveria ypatingo grožio misteriška pelkės panorama. Aukštumalos pažintinis takas, neabejotinai, yra vienas gražiausių Šilutės rajone. Kito tokio tako, kuris vestų lankytojus į paslaptingą pelkės širdį, aukštapelkės plynę su tyvuliuojančiais ežerėliais, daugiau nėra.
